Case report demonstrates unilateral ischemic central retinal vein occlusion with macular edema in a young diabetic male, highlighting the need for strict glycemic control.
Key Points
Unilateral ischemic central retinal vein occlusion accompanied by macular edema developed secondary to underlying insulin resistance in a patient with poorly managed diabetes.
Three intravitreal bevacizumab injections were required to treat prior diabetic retinopathy, with follow-up monitoring scheduled over a subsequent three-month evaluation window.
Highlights the critical need for strict glycemic management and serial gonioscopy to prevent sight-threatening angle neovascularization in high-risk metabolic patients.
