Central retinal vein occlusion is a disease that is most common in old people, and often associated with atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes or glaucoma. Since these diseases are much less evident in young people, we wanted to investigate the prevalence of disorders in the most common anticoagulant proteins in a group of young patients with central retinal vein occlusion.
