10 Causes of Glaucoma
Cause Of Glaucoma #7: Retinal Vein Occlusion
Pretty much all of our body parts need a constant supply of blood, and the eye is no exception. The retinal vein has the job of carrying blood away from the eye, but this vein can sometimes become blocked. This blocking of the vein can lead to a buildup of the pressure of the fluids in the eye.
Patients with this condition are likely to experience blurred vision and vision loss. It is a condition that is typically painless, so patients might be reluctant to get it checked out. It can lead to glaucoma, though, and this can mean permanent loss of vision, so it is wise to get such symptoms checked out as soon as possible.
