Abstract

The use of high or medium-intensity lasers to create an anastomotic connection between a retinal vein and a choroidal vein for the treatment of nonischemic central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) has shown encouraging results. We established communication between an obstructed retinal vein and the choroid using a modified laser application in the eye of a 17-year-old boy with progressive nonischemic CRVO with macular edema and achieved excellent anatomic and visual results. The macular edema totally resolved and visual acuity significantly improved from 6/60 to 6/6.
