Therapeutic Benefit of Radial Optic Neurotomy in a Rat Model of Glaucoma
Radial optic neurotomy (RON) has been proposed as a surgical treatment to alleviate the neurovascular compression and to improve the venous outflow in patients with central retinal vein occlusion. Glaucoma is characterized by specific visual field defects due to the loss of retinal ganglion cells and damage to the optic nerve head (ONH). One of the clinical hallmarks of glaucomatous neuropathy ...
متن کاملRadial Optic Neurotomy: A New Surgical Approach for Glaucoma Treatment?
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide, characterised by specific visual field defects due to the degeneration of retinal ganglion cells and damage to the optic nerve head (ONH). Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is the most important risk factor for glaucoma development. One of the clinical hallmarks of glaucomatous optic neuropathy is the excavation of the ONH, which consists of...
متن کامل[Long-term clinical outcome of radial optic neurotomy].
PURPOSE To study the long-term clinical outcome through assessment of anatomical and functional results, as well as complications of eyes affected with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) that underwent radial optic neurotomy (RON). METHODS Retrospective, observational and descriptive study of 47 eyes corresponding to 47 patients affected by CRVO. All the eyes underwent RON performed by the...
متن کاملRadial Optic Neurotomy for Central Retinal Vein Occlusion
PURPOSE Surgical decompression of the vein in central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) by radial optic neurotomy (RON) was recently proposed as being surgically feasible, safe, and beneficial. The effect of RON on the visual field has not been systematically reported, although possible visual field defects are expected due to iatrogenic cutting of the optic nerve fibers. The authors report the res...
متن کاملRadial optic neurotomy as a treatment for anterior ischemic optic neuropathy secondary to optic disc drusen
IMPORTANCE Radial optic neurotomy (RON) was first described by Opremcak as a treatment for patients with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). The most common cause of visual loss in patients with optic disc drusen is nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). The pathogenesis of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy associated with optic disc drusen is assumed to be si...
