EAGLE - Multicenter Study of the European Assessment Group for Lysis in the Eye

Summary

The aim of the EAGLE Study is to compare the efficacy of conservative medical treatment and local intraarterial fibrinolysis in patients with central retinal artery occlusion and to evaluate benefit and risk for the patient of both therapies.
