Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) is a vascular disorder that affects the retina of the eye. In BRVO, one of the smaller branches of the central retinal vein becomes blocked or occluded. The central retinal vein is responsible for draining blood from the retina. When one of its branches is blocked, it can lead to a range of complications that affect vision.
The blockage in a branch retinal vein occlusion can result in:
The severity of vision impairment in branch retinal vein occlusion can vary. Some individuals may experience mild symptoms, while others may have more significant visual disturbances, depending on factors such as the location and extent of the occlusion.
Read MoreCentral retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is a blockage of the main vein that transports blood from the retina back to the heart. This blockage can lead to a range of complications that impact vision.
When the central retinal vein is occluded in CRVO, it can result in:
The severity of vision impairment in central retinal vein occlusion can vary, and individuals with CRVO may experience significant visual disturbances.
