CRB1 mutations may be associated with intraretinal cystoid spaces. The use of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors can result in improved visual acuity in some patients.
Three patients with facial port wine birthmarks were randomly assigned to receive treatment with topical timolol or the placebo.

This pilot study suggests topical timolol warrants further evaluation for port wine birthmarks.
