Overview

While recurrence of acute retinal necrosis is not presently completely preventable, the administration of topical and intravitreal antiviral therapy targeted to the specific cause of the disease can reduce the chance of recurrence.

Secondary Prevention

While recurrence of acute retinal necrosis is not presently completely preventable, the administration of topical and intravitreal antiviral therapy targeted to the specific cause of the disease can reduce the chance of recurrence.[1]

  • Application of antiviral therapy is more effective for prevention when administered as close to disease onset as possible.
    • Extensive, prolonged therapy is important for preventing the disease from spreading to the unaffected eye.

Further prophylactic measures, such as vitrectomy, may be used in current acute retinal necrosis patients to minimize the possibility of complications, including retinal detachment.[2]

Prophylactic laser retinopexy may be indicated to prevent retinal detachment by photocoagulation, creating posterior chorioretinal adhesions.[3][4]

Due to reported occurrences of retinal detachment from prophylactic laser photocoagulation, more research is necessary to determine the ideal indications for the procedure.[3]
