Retinal Vascular Disorders
Retinal vascular disorders refer to a group of conditions that affect the blood vessels in the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. These disorders can lead to vision problems and may result from various factors, including diabetes, hypertension, and age-related macular degeneration. Common types include retinal vein occlusion and diabetic retinopathy.
Symptoms of retinal vascular disorders can include blurred vision, dark spots, or sudden vision loss. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent permanent damage. Treatments may involve laser therapy, injections, or managing underlying health conditions to improve blood flow and protect vision.
