Abstract
CENTRAL RETINAL vein occlusion (CRVO) is the third most common blinding vascular retinal disorder1,2 after diabetic retinopathy and branch retinal vein occlusion. Among patients with CRVO, 34% develop capillary nonperfusion and retinal ischemia. Iris neovascularization and neovascular glaucoma may occur in 45% to 85% of the eyes affected by ischemic CRVO and only in 5% of the nonischemic eyes.2,3 The main known risk factors of CRVO are hypertension and open-angle glaucoma.2-5Keywords
