Purpose: Impending central retinal vein occlusion is associated with mild or no loss of vision; however, its progress and vision prognosis have not been clearly defined until now. Therefore, we studied the progress and prognoses in patients with impending central retinal vein occlusion. Methods: For this study, we selected ten subjects who had been diagnosed with impending central retinal vein occlusion, and we retrospectively reviewed their progress and prognoses. Results: The average age of the subjects was 31.0 years (18 to 48 years). Eight patients were male and two were female. The average observational period was 5.5 months. Six out of ten subjects were found to have no underlying systemic disease, four subjects had underlying disease. All ten patients were affected unilaterally. When initially tested, the affected eyes showed an average vision of LogMar 0.30. The final vision test revealed an average of LogMar 0.04, which indicates good progress and prognosis. In one patient, retinal hemorrhage and macular edema progressively worsened after the diagnosis, and the patient was treated with radial optic neurotomy. Conclusions: The cases of impending central retinal vein occlusion that we observed seemed to primarily affect young patients with generally good prognoses. However, in some cases, the degrees of obstruction and hemorrhage increased as time progressed. This suggests that impending central retinal vein occlusion could develop into the prodromal phase of an acute attack.
