Clinical and Pathophysiological Description of Ocular Ischemic Syndrome

Completed

• Conditions: Retinal Degeneration; Diabetic Retinopathy

• Registration Number: NCT00403195
• Lead Sponsor: Glostrup University Hospital, Copenhagen

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to characterize the disease Ocular Ischemic Syndrome.

Detailed Description

The disease Ocular Ischemic Syndrome (OIS) is not a well described entity. It occurs after a long-standing period of extremely low blood supply to the retina caused by atherosclerosis of the carotid arteries. In this study we will analyze why OIS is developed in some patients and not developed in others.
