I had this back in 2009 and ended up getting my eye enucleated,(removed). It started in the summer when I blinked my eye and saw like a flash. I went to the eye doctor and had a retinal scan and the saw one tiny red dot. They didn't seem too concerned so I let it go. Unfortunately, over 6 months the one red dot turned into hundreds of red dots. I had neovascular glaucoma and had laser treatments done but the doctor said it was too late and I had lost complete vision. I got it from having hypertension.
This is not helpful, but why the HELL didn't they seem concerned. I mean you can go to see the experts, and give a full history - they may even have videos like this one - but in actual practice? - unlike this one - it's slam bam thank you. I am so very sorry. You doing ok?
I had CRVO at age 42.5 in 2/2020. I got the eye injections every 6-8 weeks. My left eye vision hasn't returned still blurry, but no other complications so far. I had hypertension and it sucks because lots of people have hypertension and don't have CRVO. I'm suspecting I had a blood clot. My dad had stroke from a blood clot. My sister had factor V blood clot disorder. Now, I go to my primary care doctor every six months for followup so I stay on top of everything.
Os sudden cvro edema, od, cvro just year later how lucky can you get.. shots both eyes now. Sight is riddled with blank areas but can still see enough to drive
Hello Can you help me with my mother's issues. She's having her cancer treatment and her eyelids are not opening after 5th chemo. Doctors say it to be thrombosis. What can I do for her betterment? Thanks for your time. Rahul India
Hi Dr. Alan. May I know what about if there’s lack of blood flow going to The Eye? My sister is diagnosed with eye stroke which causes her to lose vision on her right eye. However, the doctor remove some liquids from her eye to reduce the pressure. Only 50% of the vision came back.
I am aware NAION is not the theme of this video yet I want to speak out about this in case somebody may find this information useful. I experienced NAION two and a half years ago. It is obvious that there are controversial (no clear knowledge) what is the main cause of NAION. So I want to express some of my personal observations here. I suffered imputation of the 2 biggest toes and frontal parts of the foot on the left leg when I was 5. This was the reason my spine become deformed with time and I suffer constant pains in the whole region of the spine. Also, I suffered tingling in my left hand and left part of my face. At night as I slept on my left side this tingling was stronger and sometimes I felt pain in the entire left part of my head. This was I believe the reason for NAION in my case - and is probably hidden somewhere in my spine in relation to fact that I slept on the left side - this may cause increase nerve pressure in my spine and was the cause of deficient blood circulation in the left side of my head. So it becomes pretty clear to me that in my case NAION had neurological ground and I believe it is possible that most cases of NAION are rooted in health troubles related to the spine. Finally, it was found that the optical nerve in my left eye is decayed and I am entirely blind in that eye consequently. Also, my sight in the right eye is partially effected. I read a statistic that every third person with NAION eventually loses sight of another eye, too, which makes me seriously think about what can I actually do to prevent this bleak outcome. As I said it was pretty clear to me that the way I sleep may be an important factor (besides the leg injury) for my development of NAION. First I have to say that I don't use a soft mattress for years now. Now I decided to try to sleep solely on the back, which was firs unpleasant for me until I rearranged the upper part of my bed so my entire upper body is lifted for about 20 degrees. This way I sleep even better now, and without tinglings or other negative effects. The entire health situation of my back is improved significantly so this gives me at least hope I will not become entirely blind eventually. I realized that sleeping on the back has two significant advantages. First, as we sleep our spine is not curved in any direction out of its natural position, and second, by lying on the back the entire spine is not only sheltered from any coldness we may expose it during the sleeping period but is actively warmed-up and protected from below, by the warm surface of the mattress.
Sorry for my bad English... I understand what you say, but not what NAION is (I mean the word). I would like to help you, but only think of a hearty prayer, I shall do it today. From France.

a NAION is indeed a very different beast indeed, poor you for having experienced it. The doc however does a very good job of explaining what a CRVO is... in simple terms, much better then my teachers did at university (I'm an optometrist). People in general that are no specialists on the field have no clue that so much can go wrong in the eye other then 'just having to need some spectacles'. In fact, of every part of the eye, there are books written about what can go wrong that are as thick as a bible. Even the ophthalmologist knowledge of the eye, while extensive, is still limited in some capacities, so there are even specialized ophthalmologists that are even specifically trained to deal with only a specific part of the eye.

How soon should the injections/treatment start for BRVO ?
I had stroke excellent eye sight prior seeing double on right side and trouble stabilizing on any suggestion?
Take care of hyperlipidemia

That looks like a HRVO not CRVO.
