What Is Retinal Vascular Disease?

Retinal vascular disease refers to conditions that affect the blood vessels of the retina, disrupting blood flow and oxygen supply. These disorders can lead to swelling, bleeding, or even sudden vision loss if left untreated.

Advanced imaging, such as retinal OCT and fluorescein angiography, is used to confirm diagnosis and guide treatment. Early detection plays a critical role in protecting long-term vision.

Stages:

  • Gradual Onset: Often develops slowly, more common in adults over 50.
  • Associated Factors: Can be linked to prior retinal surgery, trauma, or retinal tears.

Retinal Vascular Disease Symptoms to Watch For

Symptoms may appear suddenly or progress gradually:

  • Blurred or dim vision
  • Sudden loss of vision in one eye
  • Dark spots, floaters, or shadows
  • Wavy or distorted central vision
  • Peripheral vision loss in some cases
