Journal Title: Kocatepe Medical Journal - Year 2022, Vol 23, Issue 2
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: It was aimed to determine the general demographic characteristics, local and general factors affecting the final visual acuity and to compare the treatment options in patients with central retinal vein root occlusion (RVCT). MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 310 eyes of 294 patients had been diagnosed with central retinal vein occlusion between 1983 - 2013 were included in the study. Demographic data, accompanying systemic and ocular diseases, ophthalmic examination findings, follow-up period, and treatments were recorded from the file records of patients. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 63.61 ± 12.8 years. Of the patients, 136 were female and 158 were male. Disease was detected only in the right eye in 139 patients, in the left eye in 139 patients, and in both eyes in 16 patients. The mean follow-up period of the patients was 38.56 ± 49.45 months. 61.9% of patients had hypertension, 23.46% had diabetes mellitus and 15.98% had hyperlipidemia. It was determined that 65.8% of patients were ischemic and 34.2% were non-ischemic type. It was determined that oral antiagreagans and anticoagulants usage before or after the occlusion and pentoxifylline therapy after the occlusion does not affect the final visual acuities. CONCLUSIONS: Detection and treatment of risk factors with RVCT, is an important approach in preventing the formation and progression of the disease. There is a need to develop new treatment methods and preventive modalities in order to control the disease and increase the quality of life of the patients.
