Retinal Vein Occlusion Guidelines.

Abstract

Retinal vein occlusion and its complications are among the most common causes of severe loss of sight in developed countries. In recent years, developments in imaging methods have been introduced, leading to an improvement in diagnostic possibilities. At the same time new treatment options have become available (new intravitreal drugs and treatment protocols, laser and surgical methods). The presented guidelines summarize the current knowledge about retinal vein occlusion in order to standardize and update procedures for the diagnosis, classification and treatment of the disease.
