Retina Vascular Unit, Wills Eye Hospital, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pa.
Four patients with a central retinal vein obstruction associated with
excessive deposits of hard exudate are described. When compared with a
control group of 15 consecutive patients with a central retinal vein
obstruction, those with large amounts of hard exudate were noted to have
significantly elevated triglyceride levels, poorer visual acuity, and
increased degrees of retinal ischemia on fluorescein angiography.
