Abstract: Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy is a hereditary, bilaterally progressive formation of a vitreoretinal membrane. It usually occurs in full-term newborns without previous treatment with hyperbaric oxygen. In this report, we present six cases of this...
Abstract: Central retinal artery occlusion causes severe loss of vision. Treatment trials include massage of the globe, paracentesis, antiglaucomatous eye drops, haemodilution or lysis therapy, which in individual cases did improve the visual outcome, although in...
Abstract: To assess whether early hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) treatment has a beneficial effect on visual results after retinal artery occlusion (RAO). A comparative retrospective study in which medical records of all HBO-treated RAO patients in our department were...

Abstract: Retinal artery occlusion (RAO) is an ophthalmological emergency that causes a major decrease of visual parameters in most of the cases. Purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the effect of adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) on visual acuity...
