The two varieties of CRVO are identifiable by distinctive fundus findings. Observation is the first line of management in non-ischemic CRVO, but this does not always produce desired results. Hence, options in complementary and alternative medicine, including Ayurveda, may be sought.&#13;
Case Series: Data about three patients of non-ischemic CRVO who underwent conventional management but got marginal relief of their symptoms are presented here. The patients were managed using specially-tailored Ayurvedic treatments such as oral medicines, purification procedures, and local therapies for both the eyes and head.&#13;
Results: Satisfactory results in visual acuity, posterior segment examination, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were noted.&#13;
Conclusion: The main aim and challenge in management were to improve visual acuity while bringing back normal findings and maintaining the integrity of the retina by both fundus examination and OCT. The results obtained in this series indicate the potential of Ayurvedic treatments to manage non-ischemic CRVO.&#13;
