Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
There are two types of CRVO: ischemic and non-ischemic. The "ischemia" refers to cases where the flow of blood has been compromised in the arterioles as well and thus parts of the retina are not receiving blood. The disctintion between ischemic and non-ischemic is based on findings on a fluorescein angiogram. Both types of CRVO may have swelling in the center of vision called macular edema. This is often treated with intraocular injection of anti-VEGF (Lucentis, Eylea, or Avastin) or steroid medications. Many patients with non-ischemic macular edema will recover vision through these treatments. Eyes with ischemic CRVO usually have worse vision and are more likely to go on to having complications. The main complication is the growth of new abnormal blood vessels (neovascularization) which may clog the outflow path of eye fluids and cause high pressure. This high pressure may cause the eye to lose further vision and become painful. Patients with CRVO are typically followed monthly for the first few months to check for development of neovascularization. These new vessels are first noticed on the iris. In these cases, patients will often receive pan-retinal laser photocoagulation in addition to anti-VEGF injection. Sometimes vitrectomy or glaucoma surgery becomes necessary as well

Terrible office mgmt. I had a 10 am appointment, arrived at 9:50. At 11 am I was called to have my eyes dilated but first I asked how much longer after dilation. I was told probably another 45 minutes to an hour. I said bye bye and will not go back.
