Ocular blood flow levels and visual prognosis in a patient with nonischemic type central retinal vein occlusion

Kimihito Maeda, Futoshi Ishikawa, Hiroshi OhguroDepartment of Ophthalmology, Sapporo Medical University, School of Medicine, Sapporo, JapanAbstract: We look at the case of a 39-year-old female patient suffering from a sudden decrease in her left visual acuity (0.08). Her macular edema was examined u...

Her macular edema was examined using optical coherence tomography, and her optic disc blood flow was examined with laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG).

Ocular fundus findings revealed central vein occlusion associated with macular edema, and FA determined her disease type as a nonischemic-central vein occlusion. Daily doses of 100 mg of aspirin were administered orally to the patient. Upon administration, her ocular blood flow almost immediately increased.
