Reversibility of retinal ischemia due to central retinal artery occlusion by hyperbaric oxygen

Ischemic retinal damage can be reversed by hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) as long as irreversible infarction damage has not developed. However, the time window till irreversible damage develops is still unknown. The study aim was to evaluate the effect of HBOT and determine possible markers for ir...

Zusammenfassung:Ischemic retinal damage can be reversed by hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) as long as irreversible infarction damage has not developed. However, the time window till irreversible damage develops is still unknown. The study aim was to evaluate the effect of HBOT and determine possible markers for irreversible retinal damage. Retrospective analysis of 225 patients treated with HBOT for central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) in 1999-2015. One hundred and twenty-eight patients fulfilled inclusion/exclusion criteria: age >18 years, symptoms
