Overview

Retrospective chart review reveals central retinal vein occlusion in healthy males post-exercise, suggesting multifactorial causes.

Key Points

  • To investigate cases of central retinal vein occlusion in healthy young patients after intense exercise.
  • Retrospective chart review of six patients with central retinal vein occlusion after exercise.
  • Assessment of visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and physical examination for neovascularization.
  • Optical coherence tomography performed on some patients at initial and final visits.
  • Patients had average age of 37.6 years, with mean duration of symptoms of 12.4 weeks.
  • Initial average visual acuity was 20/28.33, improving to 20/25.6 by final visit.
  • No significant medical history found; all blood work including hypercoagulable tests were normal.
