VITRECTOMY FOR CME IN RETINAL VEIN OCCLUSIONS-A NEW INDICATION?

Michaela Velikay-Parel (Wien)

In clinical praxis CME in branch vein occlusions is treated with laser. OCT findings in some patients show vitreous traction on the central retina, which can be hardly seen in fundus exams. Central vein occlusion do not respond to grid laser, diamox has shown some effect on vision. In a pilot series we operated on those patients and achieved visual improvement. Pathology and patient recruitment will be discussed.
