The results of the Central Vein Occlusion Study guide the management of complications of macular edema and neovascularization. Panretinal photocoagulation was shown to be beneficial for eyes with at least 2 hours of iris neovascularization or any angle neovascularization. Grid-pattern laser photocoagulation for perfused macular edema did not show a significant beneficial effect. Recently, several reports have suggested restoring venous outflow by 1) creating a chorioretinal anastomosis, 2) administering recombinant tissue plasminogen activator, 3) cannulating the retinal vein transvitreally, or 4) transecting the posterior scleral ring.
