Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) is
a blockage of the small veins in the retina. BRVO is associated with aging and
is usually diagnosed in people who are aged 50 and older.
High blood pressure is commonly
associated with BRVO. In addition, people
with diabetes are at increased risk for BRVO. About 10 to 12 percent of the
people who have BRVO also have glaucoma.
BRVO almost always happens only in one
eye and the most common symptom is vision loss or blurring in part of one eye.
To know more about BRVO you can read the
original article on geteyesmart.org.
If you experience sudden vision loss,
you should contact your ophthalmologist immediately. He or she will conduct a
thorough examination to determine if you have BRVO.
