Central retinal vein occlusion in young people is a rare entity. Here we present two cases of central retinal vein occlusion in young women using oral contraceptive pills. We found no other systemic problems and all routine investigations were within normal limits. The cases were managed with further avoidance of oral contraceptives and intravitreal injections of Bevacizumab (Avastin) to reduce the macular edema.
