We did clinical analysis of 30 patients with unilateral retinal vein occlusion who were diagnosed by direct ophthalmoscope and Fluorescein angiography from Jan, 1985 to Jan, 1990. The results were as follows: 1. Retinal vein occlusion typically affected persons in 6th decades, averaging 55 years of age, and patients number over 6th decades were 17(579%). 2. The visual acuities of initial visit were below 0.1 in 57 96 of CRVO(Central Retinal Vein Occlusion) and 26% of BRVO(Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion). 3. The most common associated disease was hypertension. 4. The patients number of CRVO were 7 and BRVO were 23, and the incidence of BRVO was 3.2 times higher than CRVO. 5. 19 cases(82.6%) of BRVO affected the superior temporal branch.

Noncontact tonometer is a convenient instrument for checking of intraocular pressure without corneal touch. We compared the IOP of 45 eyes in 24 patients with and without soft contact lenses. Two measurements were taken on each eye while the patients were wearing soft conbtact lenses by noncontact tonometry, and rechecked immediatly after the lenses were removed. There was no significant differance between two measurements(t-test, P>0.05).
