Implication

This review summarizes evolving treatment strategies for visual recovery in central retinal artery occlusion, suggesting implementation of acute care protocols.

Key Points

  • This review aims to summarize current management strategies and emerging treatments for central retinal artery occlusion.
  • Conducted a review of observational studies, meta-analyses, and early randomized trials.
  • Evaluated the effectiveness of various conservative and thrombolytic interventions.
  • Assessed diagnostic improvements using teleophthalmology and artificial intelligence.
  • Intravenous thrombolysis shows the strongest evidence for visual recovery when administered within 4.5 hours of onset.
  • Recent conservative interventions have shown no benefit and may be harmful.
  • Teleophthalmology and AI improved diagnostic efficiency for CRAO.
