Summary: Retinal ischaemia in a vision-threatening complication that is associated with almost every disease of the posterior segment. It may be an incidental finding in the context of chronic insidious disease or an acute presentation in a patient with profound vision loss. This talk will provide an overview of retinal ischaemia with an emphasis on the pathophysiologic mechanisms that drive ischaemia, the multimodal imaging features of retinal ischaemia and the current management paradigms to treat retinal ischaemia.
Learning Objective
- Understand the pathophysiologic mechanisms that are unique to retinal ischaemia and different to occlusive pathologies in other systems of the human body
- Understand the manifestations of retinal ischemia as seen on colour photography, OCT, OCT angiography and fluorescein angiography
- Understand if and when retinal ischaemia requires treatment and the varying treatment paradigms for this complication
