Question: 1 / 400

Can a Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO) be salvaged if the patient is seen within 2 hours?

True

False

A Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO) is a serious condition where there is a blockage in the central retinal artery which can lead to significant vision loss or even permanent blindness if not promptly treated. While immediate intervention is crucial in attempting to salvage vision in cases of CRAO, the statement that a CRAO can be salvaged if the patient is seen within 2 hours is false. Time is of the essence in cases of CRAO, and the quicker treatment is initiated, the better the chances are of preventing severe vision loss. Therefore, while prompt intervention is essential, visual outcomes can still be poor even if the patient is seen within 2 hours.
