Abstract | INTRODUCTION: CASE REPORT: The authors report a case with non-ischemic central retinal vein occlusion that was successfully treated with a single sustained-release fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant. After a course of repeated injections of shorter-acting corticosteroid, the affected eye presented a visual acuity of 20/200 and a central subfield foveal thickness of 587 µm. After fluocinolone acetonide in intravitreal implant and during a follow-up period of 12 months, a continuous and sustained increase in visual acuity until 20/25 with significant anatomical improvements and an acceptable safety profile was observed. CONCLUSION:
