Retinal cancer is a cancer that arises in the cells of the retina. The retina is the layer of cells in the back of the eye where light is converted to nerve impulses.
Retinal veins are larger than retinal arteries. Retinal veins are between 2/3 to 3/4 times larger than the arteries of the retina. Retinal vein are also darker red then the arteries.
Surgery on the eye is routinely performed to repair retinal defects, remove cataracts or cancer, or to repair eye muscles.
retinal breaks or detachments; retinal ischemia (retinal tissue that lacks oxygen); neovascularization (proliferation of blood vessels in the retina); Coats' disease
Retinal vein occlusion refers to the closure of the central retinal vein that drains the retina or to that of one of its branches.
Retinal
Multiple retinal hemorrhages-- Bleeding in the back of the eye.
Retinal artery occlusion refers to the closure of the central retinal artery and usually results in complete loss of vision in one eye.
Retinal reattachment has an 80-90% success rate.

Patients suffering from retinal detachments are commonly nearsighted, have had eye surgery, experienced ocular trauma, or have a family history of retinal detachments.
The two major RVO types are central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) and branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).
For retinal reattachments, the retina can be repaired in about 90% of cases. Early treatment almost always improves the vision of most patients with retinal detachment.
