Abstract
The cases of eight patients (10 eyes) with the equivalent of an acute ophthalmic artery obstruction (simultaneous impairment of both the retinal and choroidal circulations) are described. Ophthalmoscopic features included intense opacification of the retina in the posterior pole; variable absence of a cherry red spot, and the subsequent development of optic atrophy and pigment epithelial changes. Fluorescein angiographic signs encompassed delayed retinal and choroid filling, as well as leakage at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Electroretinography (ERG) disclosed absence of both the a- and b-waves. The entity carries a grim visual prognosis, as all ten eyes initially had no perception of light; improvement to light perception occurred in one instance.

This study revealed that the retina suffered irreparable damage after ischemia of 105 minutes, but recovered well after isChemia of 97 minutes, as a general rule, the monkey retina can tolerate up to 100 minutes of ischemian exposure.
OphthalmologyCentral Retinal Artery Obstruction and Visual Acuity
195 Citations1982Gary C. Brown, Larry E. Magargal
From the data presented it is the feeling of the authors that cases with obstruction of the central retinal artery alone and NLP acuity in the involved eye are most unusual, and additional complicating factors should be suspected, particularly abnormalities of the choroidal circulation and the optic nerve.

My studies revealed several discrepancies in Meyer’s description of the ophthalmic artery, particularly about the branches, presumably because of his small number of specimens, so the following description is essentially based on his findings, with the addition of some later information.

The electroretinogram and the visually evoked response were extinguished by occluding the retinal circulation while the animal was breathing 20% oxygen, and these responses were returned to normal by changing to a 100% inspired oxygen concentration.

Prolonged elevation of the intraocular pressure sufficient to obstruct choroidal blood flow occurring during the use of intraocular volume-reducing devices before surgery, during phakoemulsification or closed vitrectomy is postulated as the major cause of this complication.

The electrical response was subnormal, whereas an embolus in a small arterial branch during the acute stage of the disease gave rise to an increased a-wave and a reduced b-wave—by definition, a negative electroretinogram.
