What is Retinal Vein Occlusion?
Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) occurs when a blockage to blood vessels in the eye disrupts blood flow, causing changes in vision which can be mild or severe and sudden. Think of your retina like the film in a camera—when circulation is interrupted, the image becomes blurred or distorted. This condition is often linked to vascular risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, or a sedentary lifestyle. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are key to preserving your sight and preventing further complications.

Symptoms to Watch For

Benefits of Early Intervention
With timely diagnosis, treatment can: · Reduce swelling in the retina (macular oedema) · Prevent further vision deterioration · Improve or stabilise your sight · Address risk factors before additional eye or cardiovascular complications occur Early care also allows more treatment options and a greater chance of visual recovery.
