Other retinal vascular occlusions - what does this mean
Other retinal vascular occlusions occur when an artery or vein in the retina is blocked by a clot or other material, preventing blood from flowing normally and depriving the retina of oxygen and nutrients. this can cause permanent damage to the retina and vision loss.
What happens during the disease - other retinal vascular occlusions
Other retinal vascular occlusions occur when the blood vessels in the retina become blocked, leading to a decrease in blood flow to the retina and oxygen deprivation. this can occur due to a variety of factors, including the buildup of fatty deposits in the vessels, a clot or embolism, or inflammation. the resulting damage to the retina can lead to vision loss, depending on its severity.
Other retinal vascular occlusions - Prevention
Other retinal vascular occlusions can be prevented by controlling risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol, as well as by avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. regular eye exams are also recommended to detect any early signs of the condition.
