What is retinal vein occlusion?
Retinal vein occlusion refers to the closure of the central retinal vein that drains the retina or to that of one of its branches.
What are the two main types of retinal vein occlusion?
The two major RVO types are central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) and branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).
Is it safe to fly while you have retinal vein occlusion?
can i fly with a retinal vein thrombosis
Is retinal vein occlusion related to root canal work?
Retinal Vein OcclusionThe central retinal vein is the venous equivalent of the central retinal artery, and like that blood vessel can suffer from occlusion (central retinal vein occlusion), similar to that seen in ocular ischemic syndrome. Since the central retinal artery and vein are the sole source of blood supply and drainage for the retina, such occlusion can lead to severe damage to the retina and blindness, due to ischemia (restriction in blood supply) and edema (swelling). It can also cause glaucoma.
What is a retinal artery occlusion?
Retinal artery occlusion refers to the closure of the central retinal artery and usually results in complete loss of vision in one eye.
Is laser therapy used to treat retinal vein occlusion?
Although treatments for occlusion itself are limited, surgical treatment of the occlusion provides an option.
Does retinal veinal occlusion occur both eyes?
Retinal veinal occlusion can occur in both eyes. However, because it is such a rare disease, it is not common for it to happen in both eyes on the same person.
What causes pale optic?
A pale optic nerve is usually not a good sign. It is usually seen in people with advanced glaucoma, after a central retinal vein or artery occlusion, or with certain optic neuritis cases.
How is retinal artery occlusion diagnosed?
RAO is diagnosed by examination of the retina with an ophtalmoscope.
What causes pale optic nerve?
A pale optic nerve is usually not a good sign. It is usually seen in people with advanced glaucoma, after a central retinal vein or artery occlusion, or with certain optic neuritis cases.
How are patients with retinal vein occlusion monitored?
Patients should be seen at least monthly for the first three months to monitor for signs of other complications, such as the abnormal formation of blood vessels (neovascularization) in the iris of the eye or glaucoma.
What are the causes of retina bleeding?
Retinal bleeding can be caused by conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, retinal vein occlusion, and high blood pressure. Trauma to the eye or certain systemic diseases like sickle cell anemia can also lead to retinal bleeding. It is important to seek prompt medical attention if you experience any symptoms of retinal bleeding.
