| Research Abstract |
Retinal vein occlusion is a major cause of blindness in Japan. In this study, we directly quantified retinal vascular characteristics and aimed to determine local ocular characteristics associated with future development of the retinal vascular diseases. We identified three characteristics associated with increased risk of retinal vein occlusion, namely, “isolated retinopathy”, “narrowing of the arterio-venous crossing angle”, and a “discrepancy in the arterio-venous ratio between right eye and left eye”. Of the three characteristics, discrepancy in the arterio-venous ratio is a potential parameter applicable to screening program.
