[Isovolemic hemodilution--one of the possibilities in therapy of retinal vein occlusion].

The author submits a review of findings on the basis of which isovolaemic haemodilution is recommended as a therapeutic procedure in occlusion of retinal veins. By modification of the viscosity of blood rheological conditions change and thus the conditions for repair of the affected retina improve. The method of the procedure is described. The author mentions also indications and contraindications of this procedure and specifies the group of patients indicated for this treatment. The author considers the presented review an adequate basis for using haemodilution in other departments, similarly as in the author's, where it has been used now for more than three years.
