Background: Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is among the common causes of visual impairment and blindness especially in middle age and elderly individuals, after diabetic retinopathy. Aim: This study aimed to assess the pattern and associated factors for RVO, among patients with the RVO at a tertiary Hospital in Tanzania. Methodology: A hospital-based descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the Retina clinic, Muhimbili National Hospital, from June to December 2020. A total of 73 adults aged 18 years and above were enrolled in the study. A detailed history, ophthalmic and systemic examinations, laboratory investigations and optic coherence tomography were performed. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences 22.0. Results: A total of 73 (7.9%) participants had RVO during the study period. Three (4.1%) patients had bilateral involvement giving a total of 76 eyes. More than half (56.1%) of participants were aged above 61 years. Males were more with a male to female ratio of 1.5:1. Central retinal vein occlusion(CRVO) accounted for 39(51.3%) eyes. Ischemic retinal vein occlusion was seen in 18(46.1%) eyes with central retinal vein occlusion. Hypertension (89.0%), hyperlipidemia (72.6%), diabetes mellitus (49.3%) and glaucoma (20.6%), were the common conditions found. Severe visual impairment and blindness were seen in more than half of the eyes 40(52.6%). The most common complication encountered was macular edema 48(70.6%). Conclusion: RVO is a significant cause of visual impairment and blindness. Therefore we recommend early identification of the associated factors for RVO and prompt treatment to reduce the incidence of RVO and the complications.
