What treatment is available for retina vein occlusions?
Retinal laser treatment may be helpful in stabilizing retinal swelling and preventing more bleeding, but in many cases it cannot restore vision. Retinal swelling may also be treated with special medications, which are injected painlessly into the vitreous cavity, but this therapy is considered experimental and needs to be proven in controlled research trials. The role of retinal surgery is less clear, and further research is needed to prove its long-term efficacy.
