1 Second most common retinal vasclar disorder1 with age (n=3654)2 Estimated worldwide projection: 16 million people affected in at least one eye3 ~520 new cases annally per million poplation3 10-year incidence of 1.6% in people aged 49 years4 5 Prevalence (%) Retinal vein occlsionprevalence (RVO) of RVO varies < Years >80 Vision loss sbstantially affects qality of life Of 325 people with visal loss of 20/40 or worse in >1 eye, the average person with 20/40 vision in the better eye was willing to trade 2 of 10 years of life in retrn for perfect vision5 1.

2 Pathogenesis of RVO Occlsion occrs at the arteriovenos intersection major branch retinal vein, or maclar venle Non-ischaemic (perfsed) occlsion is distal to the lamina cribrosa or the adjacent retrolaminar region CRVO Ischaemic (non-perfsed) occlsion is in the region of the lamina cribrosa (or immediately posterior) defined by >10 disc areas of capillary non-perfsion (florescein angiography) 1 1.

3 Clinical featres of RVO Sdden, painless, nilateral loss of vision Not always perceived by patient Degree of vision loss dependent on retinal involvement and retinal perfsion stats Simlated vision Simlated CRVO vision CRVO Inferotemporal or nasal often asymptomatic 1 VA at time of presentation is a strong predictor of prognosis for vision 2 Vision prognosis worse in CRVO than, particlarly when nonperfsed 3 VA, visal acity 1.
