Abstract |
We did clinical analysis of 30 patients with unilateral retinal vein occlusion who were diagnosed by direct ophthalmoscope and Fluorescein angiography from Jan, 1985 to Jan, 1990. The results were as follows: 1. Retinal vein occlusion typically affected persons in 6th decades, averaging 55 years of age, and patients number over 6th decades were 17(579%). 2. The visual acuities of initial visit were below 0.1 in 57 96 of CRVO(Central Retinal Vein Occlusion) and 26% of BRVO(Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion). 3. The most common associated disease was hypertension. 4. The patients number of CRVO were 7 and BRVO were 23, and the incidence of BRVO was 3.2 times higher than CRVO. 5. 19 cases(82.6%) of BRVO affected the superior temporal branch. |
