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 so retinal and unsaturated fatty acids have in common?

According to a study performed and published by the NCBI, saturated fats are essential to retinal growth. Unsaturated fats do not have enough fat to support proper brain and retinal function in infants.


What is bilateral occlusion?

Bilateral occlusion refers to the simultaneous blockage or obstruction of both sides of a bodily system or structure. In dentistry, it often pertains to the alignment and contact of opposing teeth in the upper and lower jaws. In a broader medical context, it may describe conditions affecting blood flow or nerve pathways on both sides of the body. This term emphasizes the importance of bilateral symmetry in various physiological functions.


Can moonshine cause retinal vein occlusions?

Moonshine, or illicitly produced alcohol, can potentially contribute to health issues that may increase the risk of retinal vein occlusions. Chronic alcohol abuse is linked to various health problems, including hypertension and diabetes, both of which are risk factors for retinal vein occlusions. Additionally, the toxic substances in poorly made moonshine may have adverse effects on overall vascular health. However, while moonshine itself does not directly cause retinal vein occlusions, its consumption can lead to conditions that increase the likelihood of such events.

What is genetic disease sra3?

SRA3, or "Syndromic Retinal Atrophy 3," is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive vision loss due to retinal degeneration. It is associated with mutations in specific genes that affect the structure and function of retinal cells. The condition is often inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning both copies of the gene in an individual must be mutated for the disease to manifest. Symptoms typically appear in childhood or adolescence and can lead to significant visual impairment over time.

What causes the death of retinal cells in retinitis pigmentosa?

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) primarily leads to the death of retinal cells due to mutations in genes essential for the function and survival of photoreceptors, the light-sensitive cells in the retina. These genetic defects disrupt the normal phototransduction process and result in the accumulation of toxic byproducts, leading to oxidative stress and apoptosis (programmed cell death). Over time, this progressive degeneration affects both rod and cone photoreceptors, ultimately resulting in vision loss. Additionally, secondary effects on other retinal cells, such as retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells, can exacerbate the condition.

What causes nasolacrimal duct occlusion in women and their new born babies?

Babies often have discharge and tearing of the eyes. This is because a membrane in the nose is blocked. Nasolacrimal duct occlusion can happen on one or both sides of the nose. Usually, it opens spontaneously at birth. If the membrane does not open by itself in 6-9 months. The chance that it will self-correct is low and treatment will be required.
