When Erectile Dysfunction Therapy Clouds the Vision: ST-BRVO after Sildenafil in a Healthy Male

This case draws attention to a possible association between sildenafil use and retinal vascular events, particularly BRVO, even in healthy individuals. The temporal proximity and absence of systemic risk factors suggest a potential dose-independent vascular susceptibility. Clinicians should be aware of this rare but potentially vision-threatening complication.

Abstract

This case draws attention to a possible association between sildenafil use and retinal vascular events, particularly BRVO, even in healthy individuals. The temporal proximity and absence of systemic risk factors suggest a potential dose-independent vascular susceptibility. Clinicians should be aware of this rare but potentially vision-threatening complication.
