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.

Early hyperbaric oxygen treatment for nonarteritic central retinal artery obstruction.
Abstract: To compare hyperbaric oxygen treatment combined with hemodilution with hemodilution only in central retinal artery obstruction. Retrospective, nonrandomized case series. We reviewed records of all our patients diagnosed with central retinal artery...

Hyperbaric oxygen treatment of retinal artery occlusion.
Abstract: Five patients with a one- to 12-day history of symptoms secondary to retinal artery occlusion (RAO) were treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) for one hour at 1.5 ATA. Four patients had been diagnosed with branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) and...
