Activity Outline
Retinal vein occlusions (RVOs) are one of the most common presentations to eye care professionals. Some of you may have read a recent article in Clinical and Experimental Optometry that discussed an interesting association between branch retinal vein occlusions (BRVO) and wind musicians, that I co-authored with an optometrist colleague of mine. When writing the article, we considered that one of the interesting facts about RVOs is that there is much about their aetiology that is still unknown. This, of course, becomes a little academic when we are able to diagnose and manage this condition with reasonably good visual outcomes.
Learning Objectives
- Appreciate the complex underlying aetiology of RVOs,
- Improve history taking to elicit potential risk factors,
- Understand the clinical definition of central and branch retinal occlusion and its sequelae, and
- Be aware of current evidence-based management strategies and potential future therapeutic interventions for RVO.
