Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is when the main vein in your retina is blocked. The retina, including the macula, will swell, causing vision loss.
Sometimes a blood clot in the vein causes CRVO. Narrowing of the blood vessel walls can also cause CRVO.
Treatment aims to keep vision stable. Your ophthalmologist may do laser surgery of the retina or medication injections in the eye. These treatments are done to prevent bleeding or treat swelling of the macula, hopefully improving vision.
