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 treatment for cystoid macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion].
Abstract: A prospective study was made to estimate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on 14 eyes of cystoid macular edema (CME) secondary to retinal vein occlusion. The visual acuity was improved 2-6 lines (average 3.6 lines) after the treatment, while the control...
Bifemelane in the treatment of central retinal artery or vein obstruction.
Abstract: Patients with retinal artery or vein obstruction received 150 mg of bifemelane hydrochloride daily for 1 to 11 months and other treatment (urokinase, steroid hormone, hyperbaric oxygen, or laser photocoagulation) or the latter without bifemelane. After...
