Central Retinal Artery Occlusion and Oral Contraceptives
Indian J Ophthalmol 47:35-36, Mehta,C., 1999
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Ocular problems like migraine, thromboembolism or pseudo-tumors can be the presenting symptoms of the side effects of oral pills. Acute maculo-neuroretionpathy, macular haemorrhage, central retinal vein occlusion, central retinal artery occlusion, and perivasculitis have been reported. Most of these are seen in patients who have been on oral pills for a long time. Reported here is a case of CRAO in a young woman who was on contraceptives for 4 months.
