Controversies on the Recommended Treatment for Central Retinal Artery Occlusion

In a recent article, Mac Grory et al.1 described the structural and functional retinal imaging modalities in central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO). They have also suggested that thrombolysis is emerging as a compelling therapeutic approach for CRAO treatment, and should be administered shortly after the onset of visual loss to induce recanalisation of the occluded retinal arteries and reperfusion of the ischemic retina before retinal cell death. Importantly, there is considerable variability in CRAO management patterns among practitioners, institutions, and subspecialty groups.
