Abstract
The experimental procedure of Yag laser clot blast therapy was done in two blind eyes due to old optic atrophy after taking a written consent. There were no complications seen at time of laser application in the post laser follow up of 12 months.
Highlights
Early Yag laser clot blast therapy is useful for rapid improvement of the visual acuity and prevents the complications secondary to central venous occlusion
Most of the cases of the occlusion of central retinal vein invariably turned out to be unsuccessful with medical therapy given in the form of fibrinolytic agents, anticoagulants, hemodilution” and steroid4
The cases that present with Ischemic central retinal venous occlusion with visual acuity of 20/200 or less are typically unfavorable’
Summary
Results: In 10 cases visual acuity improved to 0.4 (20/50) in 1st week treatment. The best final visual acuity improvement was 20/30 in 8 and 20/40 in 2 cases. Conclusions: Early Yag laser clot blast therapy is useful for rapid improvement of the visual acuity and prevents the complications secondary to central venous occlusion.
