[Transient increased retinal hemorrhage and the retinal venous blood flow change in the course of non-ischemic central retinal vein occlusion treated with an anticoagulant].

Purpose: To investigate transient increased retinal hemorrhage during anticoagulant therapy and changes in the retinal venous blood flow in the course of non-ischemic central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).

Methods: Seventeen patients(eighteen eyes) with non-ischemic CRVO were studied. The retinal vein diameter, blood velocity, and blood flow were determined by the laser Doppler method in seven patients.

Change in retinal arterial blood flow in the contralateral eye of retinal vein occlusion during glucose tolerance test.

Purpose: To investigate the changes in retinal blood flow (RBF) during a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test in the contralateral eye of patients with retinal branch vein occlusion (BRVO).

Methods: Seventeen patients with BRVO were included. None had a known history of diabetes mellitus.
