Abstract


Abstract:
Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is a common retinal vascular disorder associated with cardiovascular disorders and other related risk factors.
There has been a case reported of CRVO secondary to clomiphene citrate.1
Our case report also illustrates the association between clomiphene citrate and CRVO and serves to increase awareness among physicians who use the drug.
