Abstract

Epidemiologic reports on retinal vein occlusion are quite scanty in the ophthalmologic literature. In the present study, the incidence of central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) was assessed in a defined population of the Split - Dalmatia County, Croatia. The study was designed as a retrospective review of the medical records of inpatients and outpatients with the development of CRVO during a 15-year period (1985 - 1999). Study results revealed CRVO to have occurred in 167 subjects in the population of 465,947 during the study period, yielding an annual incidence of 2.4 per 100,000. The highest incidence of CRVO was recorded above the age of 70. The results of the study should improve the disease evaluation and planning of the ophthalmologic service for better management of this serious disease.
