Types of RVO Symptoms to Look Out For Causes &#038; Risk Factors RVO occurs when a vein in the retina (the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye) becomes blocked. This can cause blood and fluid to leak into the retina, leading to blurred or distorted vision, and sometimes sudden vision loss. The condition is painless and typically affects one eye. There are two main types: Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO): Affects the retina\u2019s main vein\u2014often more severe. Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (BRVO): Involves a smaller vein\u2014more common and usually less extensive. Using advanced imaging, Mr. Sheikh will identify which type you have and tailor treatment accordingly. Blurred or patchy vision (usually in one eye) Floating dark spots or shadows (floaters) Sudden, painless loss of vision Difficulty seeing in dim light If you experience any of these, prompt assessment is important. RVO is often linked to problems with blood flow. Common risk factors include: High blood pressure Diabetes High cholesterol Smoking Glaucoma Age over 50 Certain blood clotting disorders Mr. Sheikh works alongside your GP to identify and manage these underlying risks. Treatment Options Intravitreal Injections \u2022 Anti-VEGF injections (e.g. Lucentis, Eylea, Avastin) to reduce fluid and swelling \u2022 Steroid injections or implants for inflammation \u2022 Quick, safe, outpatient procedure Laser Treatment \u2022 Stops leakage or treats abnormal new blood vessels \u2022 Minimally invasive and performed in clinic Vitrectomy Surgery \u2022 Rarely required, but used for complications like persistent bleeding \u2022 Mr. Sheikh will advise if this is appropriate Frequently Asked Questions Will my vision recover? Many patients see improvement with treatment, especially when started early. Recovery varies depending on the severity of the blockage. Are injections into the eye painful? No. The eye is numbed beforehand, and most patients experience little to no discomfort. How many injections will I need? This depends on your response to treatment. Some people need monthly injections initially, then less frequently over time. Is this condition permanent? Is this condition permanent?A: The blockage itself is not reversible, but the effects can be managed. With proper treatment, your vision can often be stabilised and sometimes improved. Will I need treatment forever? Not necessarily. Some patients need long-term monitoring; others may be discharged once stable. Take control of your eye health.
