Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) presents significant challenges in ophthalmology, necessitating careful treatment selection and diagnostic approaches. Understanding the role of angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) is crucial in managing RVO, as it influences disease progression and treatment outcomes. Steroids play a pivotal role in RVO management, offering therapeutic benefits but requiring careful consideration of potential side effects. Patient education is essential to ensure adherence to treatment plans and improve overall outcomes. Comprehensive management of RVO involves a multidisciplinary approach, integrating diagnostics, pharmacotherapy, and patient engagement strategies.

A panel of ophthalmologists discuss strategies for improving patient outcomes in retinal vein occlusion with anti-VEGF and other therapies.
