PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF VISUAL ACUTY DYSFUNCTION IN CENTRAL RETINAL VEIN OCCULSION (OVCR/ CRVO)

Summary/Abstract: Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is a significant vascular disorder that leads to sudden reduction of visual acuity and serious functional visual impairment in affected patients. The occlusion may occur at the level of the central retinal vein or its branches. Etiologically, it most commonly affects the elderly population and is associated with risk factors such as arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and increased intraocular pressure. Clinically, CRVO is classified into non-ischemic form and ischemic forms. The non-ischemic form is characterized by milder symptomatology and better prognosis, while the ischemic form is accompanied by a more severe clinical picture, with the appearance of macular edema, neovascularization and risk of secondary glaucoma. The decrease in visual acuity significantly affects the guality of life of sufferers, and is often accompanied by psychological disorders, such as shock and disbelief, anxiety, depression, anger and frustration, fear of blindness, decreased self-esteem, and a general decline in the quality of life. Timely diagnosis appropriate ophthalmological treatment, and a multidisciplinary approach, including psychological support, play a key role in improving the visual function and psychosocial status of patients with CRVO
