42-year-old pregnant African American with TRD and peripheral ischemia secondary to Eales disease. She was assigned this diagnosis of exclusion after a thorough work up for other identifiable causes of peripheral ischemia (e.g. sickle cell, syphilis, sarcoid, clotting disorders, SLE, TB, IP, FEVR). We elected to temporize her with PRP and Ozurdex in lieu of anti-VEGF medication given her pregnant status. Note: the Ozurdex pellet is visible in the inferior aspect of this photo.

Non-ischemic CRVO (VA 20/30) with secondary CLRAO (nasal macular pallor) in a hypertensive 69yo female. Pathophysiologically, the cilioretinal artery occlusion occurs secondary to elevation in the hydrostatic pressure in the retinal venous system relative to the choroidal perfusion pressure (which supplies the cilioretinal artery).
