title: Optociliary venous anastomosis after radial optic neurotomy for central retinal vein occlusion.
abstract: Radial optic neurotomy has been shown to be beneficial for the treatment of central retinal vein occlusion. Two patients developed optociliary venous anastomosis after radial optic neurotomy for central retinal vein occlusion with improvement in vision and clinical appearance. Optociliary venous anastomosis may portend a favorable prognosis.
