“…Similarly, Binder et al [60] reported that patients with nonischemic CRVO may respond more favorably than patients with ischemic CRVO after performing RON. Moreover, while improvements in visual acuity after RON have been confirmed by several other reports [61][62][63][64] , some studies found a resolution of macular edema that was not accompanied by an improvement in visual acuity in all eyes following RON [65,66] . On the other hand, some studies revealed that RON induce the development of retinochoroidal shunt vessels in 46.7-83.3% of patients and this may represent the mechanism of any beneficial effect this surgical procedure [67][68][69][70][71] .…”

Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is the second most common vascular disease after diabetic retinopathy. Although its high frequency, mechanisms underlying RVO and optimal treatment strategies are still controversial. There are various treatment modalities for retinal vein occlusion including observation, systemic treatments, intravitreal agents, laser photocoagulation, fibrinolytic treatment and surgical approaches. Despite most of the treatment strategies are directed at secondary complications of RVO that affect vision including macular edema and retinal neovascularization, some treatment options also have the ability to create a bypass around the obstructed retinal vein and to decrease the raised venous hydrostatic pressure. The aim of this review is to describe the outcomes of fibrinolytic and surgical treatment modalities for RVO.
