Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers reported on a 43-year-old male patient with central retinal vein occlusion and cilioretinal artery occlusion who received 14 days of hyperbaric oxygen treatment.

What They Found

Following 14 days of hyperbaric oxygen treatment, the patient's left visual acuity significantly improved from 20/200 to 20/20. Additionally, dilated fundoscopic examination revealed complete resolution of intra-retinal haemorrhages and retinal whitening observed at presentation.
