Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion treatment in Celaya

Branch retinal vein occlusion (known by its acronym BRVO) is a blockage in one of the branches of the veins that drain blood from the retina. When the flow is obstructed, fluid and blood accumulate in a portion of the back of the eye.

Frequent symptoms: blurred or distorted vision in a part of the visual field of a single eye, usually painless and of sudden onset.

Associated factors: it is usually related to conditions that affect the blood vessels, such as high blood pressure and other circulatory problems.

Which specialist treats it? Its study falls to the ophthalmologist, who examines the retina, while the vascular surgeon may be involved in the evaluation of the underlying circulatory factors. In the face of a sudden loss or change of vision, seeking care without delay makes all the difference.
