Abstract:
We investigated the risk of mortality and morbidity in 78 patients with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) followed for more than 2 years (mean follow-up 7.2 years). Thirteen subjects died at an average of 7.0 years after CRVO. Five subjects developed myocardial infarction at an average of 2.8 years after CRVO, and 1 developed a cerebrovascular accident 3 years after CRVO. Patients with CRVO do not carry a higher risk of mortality and morbidity than matched controls derived from national surveys.
