Retinal vein occlusion



Flame and blot haemorrhages and cotton wool spots (retinal microinfarcts) are seen in a wedge distribution, appearances typical of branch retinal vein occlusion. Central retinal vein occlusion leads to these appearances throughout the retina (‘bloodstorm’).

Central retinal vein occlusion results in painless, sudden loss of vision. Branch retinal vein occlusion causes visual loss when the macula is involved, but if the macula is spared the occlusion may be an incidental finding.

  1. Some people worry too much about this disorder but normally it is a usual eyesight issue but when they see it on the diagnosis paper written Retinal Vein Occlusion they do get horrified that oh no! What is going to happen next? RELAX. Nothing! You will be alright! Just be patient and keep pace with the treatment and you’ll be fine. Also, don’t be careless when it comes to eyes like what your doctor has prescribed do follow the instructions carefully on taking care of them. Instead of freaking out go to a good ophthalmologist or go for a herbal remedy because that helps a lot without side effects.
