Yes I know the difference between topical and systemic. Can you provide any evidence that topical estriol cream to the face increases the risk of RVO?

Only my own personal experience.

I presumed you were the poster from 2021 who had RVO. I'm sorry you had it but correlation doesn't equal causation; indeed increased age is a risk factor for RVO. If there was a genuine risk of blindness I doubt any of the aforementioned studies would have been allowed to proceed.

No, I am not. The retinal specialist disagrees with you. HTH.

Then I hope your retinal specialist has raised awareness and published their concerns.
