Detection of Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion using Fractal Analysis

Human retina consists of repeating pattern of arteries and veins. This repeating pattern is known as Fractals. Fractal Dimension is the quantity which is to be determined for analyzing disorder in retina using fractal analysis. There are two disorders of retina which leads to complete vision loss. They are Occlusion and Diabetic Retinopathy. Occlusion is due to arteries crossing over vein leadi...

Role of Transthoracic Echocardiography in the Evaluation of Patients with Retinal Vein Occlusion

   Introduction: Retinal vein occlusion  is a common vascular disorder disrupting vision. Two basic types of RVO are branch retinal vein occlusion and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).  Retinal vein occlusion is a multifactor process including systemic illness and local retinal factors.RVO may be associated with atherosclerotic risk factors. We analyzed the role of 2 dimensional transthor...

An ultra-low-molecular-weight heparin, fondaparinux, to treat retinal vein occlusion.

Retinal vein occlusions may decrease visual acuity. There is no known therapy to treat ocular thrombosis. The authors used fondaparinux, an ultra-low-molecular-weight heparin, to treat 13 consecutive cases of recent-onset retinal vein occlusions. Two patients with renal insufficiency were not included. Eight central retinal vein occlusions and 5 branch retinal vein occlusions in 13 patients wer...

Evolving practice patterns in treatment of major retinal diseases in Singapore.

Dear Editor, Neovascular (“wet”) age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema (DME) and retinal vein occlusion (RVO) are amongst the most common causes of blindness.1-3 Traditionally, these conditions were treated with thermal laser photocoagulation, however, the advent of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has revolutionised the treatment of these diseases.1,4,5 T...
