About

Maiko Inoue is a leading ophthalmologist and researcher whose work centers on retinal vascular diseases, particularly central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) and central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO). Her major contributions include critically evaluating the role of surgical interventions for these sight-threatening conditions, challenging conventional treatment paradigms. In her highly cited 2024 review, "Retinal arterial and vein occlusion: is surgery ever indicated?" (6 citations), Inoue synthesizes recent findings to clarify when surgical approaches—such as vitrectomy or arteriovenous sheathotomy—may be warranted, especially for cases resistant to anti-VEGF therapy. This work has helped refine clinical decision-making, emphasizing that while anti-VEGF remains a cornerstone for CRVO, it is not universally effective. Inoue’s research bridges the gap between medical and surgical management, offering nuanced guidance for complex retinal occlusions. Her impact is evident in the growing recognition of her work among retinal specialists, and she continues to shape treatment protocols through rigorous evidence synthesis. Inoue’s contributions are particularly valuable for trainees and clinicians navigating the evolving landscape of retinal vascular disease management.
