Guidelines retinal vein occlusions

Guidelines for retinal vein occlusions referrals

All referrals for retinal vein occlusions should be made via the EyeV referral platform.

  • CRVO with/without macular oedema, whatever the vision should be seen within 2 weeks.
  • BRVO with good vision (with/without macular oedema) should be see within 4-6 weeks.
  • BRVO with poor vision due to macular oedema should be seen within 2-3 weeks. For other causes of poor vision, please act accordingly to the cause.

In all cases, it is good practice to inform the GP to check the patient’s cardiovascular risk factors, BP, diabetes, etc. Please also inform that you have made the onward referral to secondary care.
