Safety and effectiveness of IV Thrombolysis in retinal artery occlusion: A multicenter retrospective cohort study.

Background: Retinal artery occlusion (RAO) may lead to irreversible blindness. For acute RAO, intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) can be considered as treatment. However, due to the rarity of RAO, data about IVT safety and effectiveness is limited.

Central Retinal Artery Occlusion: Current Practice, Awareness and Prehospital Delays in Switzerland.

Background And Purpose: Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) often leads to permanent monocular blindness. Hence, early recognition and rapid re-perfusion is of paramount importance. This study aims to describe prehospital pathways in CRAO compared to stroke and study the knowledge about CRAO.
