“…Bynoe Bynoe also disputes the assertion that there is no other effective treatment citing results from studies utilising external approaches to decompress the optic nerve 59,60,58 and tissue plasminogen activator, [53][54][55] some of which showed similar results, although he acknowledges their complications. Hayreh 67 challenges the claims made by Opremcak on several counts.…”

This article discusses two current indications for intraocular surgery for optic nerve conditions. The first topic is macular detachment in association with congenital optic disc pit, and includes a review of the theories of pathogenesis and management options including our own experience of treatment with vitrectomy and gas tamponade. In addition, the histopathological findings of a new case of optic disc pit with serous macular detachment are presented, adding to the rare examples previously reported. The second subject is a radial optic neurotomy, a recently advocated treatment for central retinal vein occlusion, which, despite its controversial nature, is gaining in popularity.

“…The Central Vein Occlusion Study showed that the grid pattern photocoagulation definitely reduced macular oedema on fluorescein angiography but failed to show statistically significant visual acuity benefit. 4 Recent reports have suggested other treatment modalities investigated in case series, including laser-induced chorioretinal venous anastomosis, 5 intravitreal tissue plasminogen activator, 6,7 surgical induction of chorioretinal venous anastomosis, 8 and radial optic neurotomy, 9 to improve the circulatory status of the retina after CRVO. However, these studies, although encouraging, are still controversial and have not yet been sufficiently supported by larger randomised clinical trials.…”

“…In addition, intravitreal injection of t-PA had some complications such as vitreous haemorrhage and increase in macular edema. Because of these unsuccessful results, different ways were searched to administration of t-PA into the obstructed retinal vein and in the year of 2001 Weiss and Bynoe described a surgical procedure that allowed direct injection of t-PA into the obstructed vein [20] . This surgical procedure included PPV with peeling of posterior hyaloid followed by cannulation of a peripapillary retinal vein branch and injection of a bolus 200µg/mL t-PA towards the optic nerve head (ONH).…”

Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is the second most common vascular disease after diabetic retinopathy. Although its high frequency, mechanisms underlying RVO and optimal treatment strategies are still controversial. There are various treatment modalities for retinal vein occlusion including observation, systemic treatments, intravitreal agents, laser photocoagulation, fibrinolytic treatment and surgical approaches. Despite most of the treatment strategies are directed at secondary complications of RVO that affect vision including macular edema and retinal neovascularization, some treatment options also have the ability to create a bypass around the obstructed retinal vein and to decrease the raised venous hydrostatic pressure. The aim of this review is to describe the outcomes of fibrinolytic and surgical treatment modalities for RVO.
