Guidelines for management Non-ischaemic CRVO
• If VA ≤6/12 + OCT ≥250 microns, consider Ozurdex or AntiVEGF
• if VA <6/60 or RAPD ( manage as ischaemic CRVO).
• Retreat with Ozurdex at 4–6mth intervals.
• For AntiVEGF, consider monthly injections for 6–12months , and then as required.
• Can be discharged if stable by 24 months.
Guidelines for management of Ischaemic CRVO with no NV
• Examination (including gonioscopy) monthly for 6 months , then every 3 months for 1 yr .
• can be discharged if stable by 24 months
Guidelines for management of Ischaemic with neovascularization (angle or iris)
• PRP (1,500–2,000 × 500 microns × 0.05–0.10)
• consider combined use of AntiVEGF
• follow-up every 6 wks
• repeat treatment if NVI/NVA persists
Guidelines for management of NVG with visual potential
• control of IOP with topical agents or cycloablation
• PRP or AntiVEGF
• atropine and Cyclopento
• shunt surgery
Guidelines for management of NVG in blind eye
Keep the eye comfortable in any way
• topical agents
•CPC
•CCA
•Evisceration

Manangement of Retinal Vein Occlusion
Central Retinal Vein Occlsion (CRVO)

4. Demographics• In Australia, prevalence of RVO… – 0.7% in pts aged 49-60 years to 4.6% in pts older than 80 years a• Seasonal variation found…greater than 20,000 patients in the month of January ba Mitchell P, Smith W, Chang A.
