Course Summary
Retinal vein occlusion – Victor Chong & Deborah Lea (13:00)
Deborah Lea asks Victor Chong about the diagnosis, progression, prognosis, and treatment of Retinal Vein Occlusion. RVO is the second most common retinal vascular disease after diabetic retinopathy and is prevalent amongst older patients with hypertension. Broadly characterised by a sudden and painless reduction in vision, occlusion most commonly occurs in a branch of the retinal vein but may occur in the central retinal vein, in which case the prognosis is more serious.
