- SUMMARY:Important objectives on evaluation of a patient presenting with a CRVO include differentiation between ischemic and nonischemic types, identification of any complications, and establishment of a treatment and/or follow-up plan. Macular edema is one of the main causes of vision loss in CRVO, and for the first time we can have effective treatment options for affected patients.
