Purpose:
To report two cases of central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) associated with vitreoretinal surgery.
Observations:
Two patients underwent vitreoretinal surgery and were diagnosed with CRAO on postoperative day one. Both had received retrobulbar anesthetic blocks, followed by pars plana vitrectomy in one patient and scleral buckling in the other patient. Best-corrected visual acuity at last follow-up was 20/40 and 20/400.
Conclusions/Importance:
CRAO is a rare but serious adverse event after vitreoretinal surgery. The causative mechanism is not known in these patients.

RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...
