Evaluation of the diagnosis and efficacy of the therapy administered in relation to the time of the addressing of patients with ramus obstruction or central retinal artery

Abstract

Central retinal artery occlusion is a major ophthalmological emergency, the most important tenet of treatment is rapid identification of occlusion and initiation of targeted therapy. The study was performed based on the examination of visual acuity in dynamics of two groups of patients with a confirmed diagnosis, the first group with addressing up to 24 hours after the onset of symptoms, the second group with late addressing. For the patients who were addressed more quickly, the rate of increase in AV was higher compared to those with late addressing. The result of this study was that the therapy administered in the first hours after occlusion is more efficient and the success rate depends on the addressing time.
