Acute Mental Stress as a Precipitating Factor for Central Retinal Vein Occlusion in an Elderly Patient

Journal of Ophthalmic and Optometric Sciences, Vol. 8 No. 2 (2024), 2 April 2024 , Page 44-46

Abstract

A 59-year-old male patient was referred to Basir Eye Clinic, Tehran, Iran, for visual evoked potential (VEP) and electroretinography (ERG) of the left eye. The results showed a flat VEP P100 peak and a flat ERG b-wave. Further investigation into the cause of this sudden episode revealed central retinal vein occlusion, which was attributed to acute mental stress.
