Central Retinal Artery Occlusion
The abbreviation BRAO stands for branch retinal artery occlusion, that is, the interruption of blood flow in a small vessel that supplies part of the light-sensitive tissue inside the eye.
How does it show up? It is usually described as a sudden and painless loss of a portion of the visual field in a single eye, appearing abruptly.
Why is it related to circulation? Since it is a problem of the blood vessels, it is linked to the overall vascular health of the body.
Who treats it? The evaluation falls to the ophthalmologist for the study of the eye and to the vascular surgeon for the circulatory context. Because of its sudden nature, seeking care immediately is the most reasonable thing to do.
