First of all, I am pleased to have an opportunity to discuss our recently published
review on vaccine-related retinal artery occlusion (RAO) in adults.

vaccination. A review of the literature.

Our review clearly listed out the literature search methods on search engine and
database used (MEDLINE and PubMed), keywords and MeSH terms applied (vaccine retinal
artery occlusion), as well as the date of the search (10th January 2022). It was very clear that only RAO was discussed, so we cannot accept
the accuse by Finsterer J that we did not include several reports published before
10th January 2022, i.e. references number 16 – 23 referred by Dr. Finsterer.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
