BMJ 303:1445-1446, Hausmann,N.&Richard,G., 1991
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Occlusion f the ocular central artery generally leads to permanent blindness after 105 minutes.It may be caused by endothelial oedema,so quick recanalisation may be possible with steroid treatment.We report four cases of acute occlusion of the ocular central artery in which a bolus of high dose steroid was injected intravenously and its effect on the retina examined by fluorescein angiography.
