ABSTRACT
When several and very different treatment modalities exist for one ailment, it usually means that none of them is generally effective or superior to others. Central retinal vein occlusion [CRVO] is a condition for which various types of management have been proposed. However, the only standard care suggested by the Central Vein Occlusion Study Group [CVOSG] is panretinal photocoagulation when the condition is complicated by iris neovascularization. In 2001, radial optic neurotomy [RON] was suggested by Opremcak for treatment of CRVO. This therapeutic modality has raised much debate among authorities. Herein, we present the opposing views of two vitreoretinal specialists regarding this issue
