Visual recovery after central retinal artery occlusion: two cases

R Stone et al. Ann Ophthalmol. 1977 Apr.

Abstract

Two cases of central retinal artery occlusion of prolonged duration (greater than 6 hours) were treated with retrobulbar anesthesia, anterior chamber paracentesis, and high-dose carbon dioxide and oxygen inhalation. Both cases recovered excellent vision and illustrate that visual recovery after relatively prolonged central retinal artery occlusion is possible.
