PURPOSE To investigate the effect of intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injections for macular edema secondary to acute branch retinal vein occlusion on the retinal microcirculation. METHODS The study was a prospective, interventional case series. Central macular thickness using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and retinal blood flow (RBF) in untreated eyes with macular edema secondar...

A healthy young woman suffered complete loss of the vision of one eye following a blunt ocular injury. She sustained a combined occlusion of the central retinal artery and central retinal vein of the affected eye. Initially few retinal haemorrhages were present, but they increased considerably in number and size during the day following injury.

Eight eyes with central retinal vein occlusion one eye with old central retinal artery occlusion complicated by rubeosis iridis or increased intraocular pressure, or both; and one eye with diabetic retinopathy and rubeosis iridis were treated by retinal panphotocoagulation. Vision did not improve but intraocular pressure was lower and iris neovascularisation regressed in most cases, supporting ...
