What is the treatment for central retinal vein occlusion?

Currently, the first line treatment for macular edema due to CRVO is anti-VEGF therapy with intravitreal bevacizumab, ranibizumab, or aflibercept. Second line treatments typically include intravitreal triamcinolone and dexamethasone implant.

What is RVO in medical term?

Retinal vein occlusion is a blockage of the small veins that carry blood away from the retina. The retina is the layer of tissue at the back of the inner eye that converts light images to nerve signals and sends them to the brain.

Is retinal vein occlusion a disability? Retinal vein occlusion normally affects one eye rather than both. Even with loss of vision in the affected eye, if you have good vision in the other eye, you may not be classed as having a disability.

Can you recover from retinal vein occlusion?

Many patients regain some of their previous vision, but rarely will vision return to 100% normal. There is presently no cure for central retinal vein occlusion. Panretinal photocoagulation laser treatment is used to reduce growth of new blood vessels.

Can you go blind from retinal vein occlusion?

Sometimes there is a complete loss of vision almost immediately. If these symptoms occur, it is important to schedule an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible. Retinal vein occlusion often causes permanent damage to the retina and loss of vision.

Can retinal vein occlusion get better?

Each case of retinal vein occlusion is unique. The mild cases of vein occlusion may get better without treatment but only 1o to 20% of cases with severe occlusion may recover some vision.
