title: Central retinal vein occlusion: life and sight implications.
abstract: Central retinal vein occlusion is an ophthalmic disease with both life and sight threatening implications. Treatment should be aimed at the underlying ophthalmic or systemic disease. Questionable modes of therapy (ie, anticoagulation) may injure the patient as a whole without offering any really better results for the ophthalmic condition.
