INTRODUCTION TO VEIN OCCLUSION:-

Retinal vein occlusion may be defined as the blockage in the veins of the retina. Vein Blockage occurs when blood in the veins stops flowing and veins can not then drain the blood out of the retina.


CAUSES OF VEINS OCCLUSION:-

The factors which leads to the development of veins occlusion are:-

1. High blood pressure.
2. Smoking.
3. Too much fat in blood.
4. Diabetes.
5. Hypertension.
6. Age related.
7. Cardio-vascular disease.


SYMPTOMS OF VEINS OCCLUSION:-

1. Central area of vision impaired.
2. Blurred vision.


TREATMENT OF VEINS OCCLUSION:-

Treatment of the veins occlusion included steroids, anticoagulants, and streptokinase, aspirin, and plasma expanders. When condition is not under control with all the above methods then, laser is made to fall on the affected region in order to remove blockage.
