[Central vein occlusion caused by high-protein diet].
We report the case of a patient who had a very strict high-protein diet without good hydration. This caused blood hyperviscosity and obliteration of the central vein of the right eye. After hemodilution therapy, visual acuity, which had decreased to 4/10, improved to 10/10.
