The use of Combigan drops twice a day the day before and the day of injection in eyes scheduled for intravitreal injection of Lucentis is a safe and effective prophylaxis to reduce the acute IOP spikes of the post-injection period.
The combination of CAO and CRVO comprises a discrete clinical entity. In both our cases, FA did not show full obstruction of the cilioretinal artery. Even though many hypotheses have been postulated about this entity, it seems that it ensues from the increased intraluminal pressure in the retinal capillaries (due to the CRVO), which exceeds the pressure in the cilioretinal artery. Thus, it is probably a functional obstruction of the cilioretinal artery, although its pathogenesis remains controversial.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
