Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of dexamethasone intravitreal implant (DEX implant; OZURDEX, Allergan, Inc., Irvine, CA) compared with sham in eyes with vision loss due to macular edema (ME) associated with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) or central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).Design: Two identical, multicenter, masked, randomized, 6-month, sham-controlled clinical trials (each of which included patients with BRVO and patients with CRVO).Participants: A total of 1267 patients with vision loss due to ME associated with BRVO or CRVO.Intervention: A single treatment with DEX implant 0.7 mg (n = 427), DEX implant 0.35 mg (n = 414), or sham (n = 426).Main Outcome Measures: The primary outcome measure for the pooled data from the 2 studies was time to achieve a >= 15-letter improvement in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Secondary end points included BCVA, central retinal thickness, and safety.Results: After a single administration, the time to achieve a >= 15-letter improvement in BCVA was significantly less in both DEX implant groups compared with sham (P= 15-letter improvement in BCVA was significantly higher in both DEX implant groups compared with sham at days 30 to 90 (P= 15-letter loss in BCVA was significantly lower in the DEX implant 0.7-mg group compared with sham at all follow-up visits (P
