Retinal Vein Occlusion

Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO) occurs when one of the veins in the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye, becomes blocked. This blockage can lead to vision problems, as it restricts blood flow and causes fluid buildup. RVO can result in symptoms like blurred vision or sudden vision loss. It is often linked to conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes. Treatment options vary based on severity and may include injections, laser therapy, or managing underlying health issues. Early detection and intervention are crucial for better outcomes.
