Monitoring
Follow-up of patients treated for ischaemic central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) or ischaemic branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) includes:[4][24]
monitoring monthly for the first 6 months for the development of neovascularisation
pupillary assessment for a relative afferent pupillary defect
measurement of intraocular pressure
stereoscopic examination of posterior pole after dilation
optical coherence tomography imaging when appropriate, and
peripheral retina and vitreous examination when indicated.
Patients should be re-examined every 3 months for 6 months, and then every 6 months. Gonioscopy should be performed when intra-ocular pressure is elevated to rule out neovascularisation of the angle.
