Visual prognosis following treatment of acute central retinal artery obstruction.

J J Augsburger, L E Magargal
PMCID: PMC1042573  PMID: 7448144

Abstract

The authors report the visual outcome in 34 consecutive cases of treated acute central retinal artery obstruction. Visual acuity equal to or better than 6/30 was recovered in 35% of the cases. The presenting visual acuity and duration of visual impairment appear to correlate with visual prognosis.
