Description: Optomap RGB image of a 34-year-old woman with central retinal vein occlusion with macular edema in the left eye. Patient has had a fairly acute onset central retinal vein occlusion in her left eye with dense superior IRH and macular edema. Modest ischemic changes are seen on exam and fundus photos. Patient was educated on the etiology of CRVOs and the relationship to systemic risk factors. Recommended hypercoagulable work-up with her PCP and bloodwork was ordered. Treatment with intravitreal injections was recommended to reduce the macular edema. Patient is to continue monthly follow ups with repeat OCT.
