Growing prevalence of diabetes and atherosclerosis are the major factors causing retinal vein occlusion. This can be attributed to rapidly changing dietary habits and increasing smoking activities. More than 40 million population smoke cigarettes in the U.S., the CDC and nearly USD 170 billion is spent on medical care of smoking related conditions. Smoking is one of the major causes of hypertension, leading to RVO. Moreover, atherosclerosis is a life threating disease and around 735,000 Americans die from it every year, CDC. For many years, ophthalmologists had few options for RVO as well as diagnostic techniques. At present, increasing treatment options are showing promising outcome in the treatment of RVO. Early diagnostic techniques are also offering better management and helping in avoiding serious damage to the retina.
Prevalence of Non-ischemic CRVO is increasing
CRVO is segmented into non-ischemic and ischemic CRVO. Ischemic CRVO is more threatening than the non- ischemic as it can cause permanent blindness. Moreover, non-ischemic CRVO accounts for around 75% of cases, American Academy of Ophthalmology Organization. Diabetes and hypertension are major triggering factors to develop non-ischemic CRVO. Increasing diabetic population and its associated risk factors such as diabetic retinopathy has increased prevalence of non-ischemic CRVO worldwide. Geriatric population has been found be at the higher risk as they are more prone to diabetes. For instance, around 23.1 million adults aged 65 years or above have prediabetes in the U.S., the American Association of Diabetes Educators.
