Abstract
CENTRAL RETINAL vein occlusion (CRVO) remains a difficult and often frustrating disease for both the patient and the ophthalmologist. Although some younger patients with nonischemic forms may recover, most patients with CRVO are left with poor vision; in patients with widespread capillary nonperfusion, less than 10% maintain a visual acuity better than 20/400 OU.1 No treatment has proved useful in improving vision, and ophthalmic care is supportive with observation for the development of iris neovascularization and the need for intervention with retinal ablation.2
