Abstract
RETINAL ARTERY and vein occlusions are among the most common causes of severe vision loss. In the Blue Mountains Eye Study, the prevalence of retinal vein occlusion was found to be 1.6% in adults aged 49 years or older.1 Standard treatment is generally ineffective in restoring blood flow.2,3Keywords
