High prevalence of retinal vein occlusion in young people as well as treatment complexity and inadequate control of hemostatic parameters of blood and lacrimal fluid determine the significance of relevant research in patients with retinal vascular pathology. The data thus obtained may be useful for disease prognosis, severity evaluation and therapy control. This review is aimed to study hemostasis-related parameters of blood and lacrimal fluid in such patients.
A clinical efficacy assessment was performed for the therapy of post-occlusive cystoid macular edema using intravitreal anti-VEGF-ranibizumab injections at short and remote terms from the disease onset. It has been shown that ranibizumab intravitreal injections in retinal vein occlusion allow to increase visual acuity and to reduce retinal edema, and thus rehabilitate patients in maximally short terms. Intravitreal injections of vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors at short terms from the disease onset allow achieving stabilization of the pathological process with preservation or improvement of visual functions, while reducing the number of repeated intravitreal injections.
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.
