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...

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...

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...
