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.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and age-related macular degeneration.
Abstract: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a significant cause of visual loss in the United States and Western Europe. As the population ages, the prevalence rate of advanced AMD is expected to double by 2030. A one-hour session of hyperbaric oxygen therapy...

Hyperbaric oxygen treatment of nonacute central retinal artery occlusion.
Abstract: Four patients received hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT): Three patients had nonarteritic central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO); a fourth patient had a CRAO in the right eye (OD) and a branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) with macular involvement in the...
