Retinal Disorders
The part of the eye that sends visual messages to the brain is known as the retina. Disorders of the retina include disease of, injury, or damage to the retina, all of which affect the quality of vision. Some retinal disorders are serious enough to cause blindness. The most common retinal disorders are retinal detachment, retinoblastoma, retinopathy, Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO), Macular Degeneration (also known as Age-related Macular Degeneration or AMD), and Retinitis Pigmentosa.

Reduction of apoptosis in ischemic retinas of two mouse models using hyperbaric oxygen treatment.
Abstract: To investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) chamber treatment in mouse models of retinal ischemia. Unilateral central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) or optic nerve crush (ONC) was induced in 50 mice each, of which 30 were treated with 100% oxygen...

Retinal artery occlusion: visual outcome after treatment with hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: We describe a case series of 11 patients with retinal artery occlusion treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) at Intermountain Dixie Regional Medical Center between 2005 and 2009. We then combined data from our case series with data from two other...
