Various age-related local and systemic factors have been associated with retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Hemodynamic changes (venous stasis), degenerative changes of the vessel wall and blood hypercoagulability underlies the pathogenesis. The role of Vitamin D in modulating the inflammatory responses within the arterial wall, the capacity to attenuate the oxidative stress and direct effect of hypovitaminosis D on increased vascular resistance hints at a potential association of Vitamin D levels with disorders of retinal vasculature.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>AIM:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To estimate serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 OH Vit D) level in patients of RVO and compare it with matched controls.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>MATERIALS AND METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fifty patients of RVO as cases and 50 without RVO as controls underwent systemic and ocular examination including the estimation of serum 25 OH Vit D and other biochemical parameters.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>STATISTICAL ANALYSIS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 25 was used for the analysis.
