WAIKOLOA, Hawaii — In this expert perspective from Retina 2026, Sharon Fekrat, MD, FACS, FASRS, discusses a real-world retrospective analysis of the Vestrum Health Retina Database of patients with retinal vein occlusion.
Fekrat, of Duke University School of Medicine, said the data demonstrate that retinal vein occlusion is a chronic disease.
“Eyes with retinal vein occlusion often require treatment and anti-VEGF pharmacotherapy for many years, much longer than we initially thought,” she told Healio.
