Perils of Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO)

When all is operating as it should, the veins and arteries carry blood to every part of the body.

But what when things aren’t operating as they should??

The retina has one main vein (central retinal vein) and one main artery. So of this is blocked, the ramifications are serious. throughout your body, including your eyes. The eye’s retina has one main artery and one main vein. When the main retinal vein becomes blocked, it is called central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).
