Central Retinal Artery Occlusion treatment in Chihuahua

It's worth acting immediately: a sudden, painless loss of vision in one eye can be a sign of central retinal artery occlusion. This condition occurs when the main artery that carries blood to the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, becomes blocked.

Common symptoms: Sudden loss of vision in one eye, generally without pain and either partial or total.

Common causes: It is usually related to clots or to circulatory problems that affect blood supply to the eye.

Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist evaluates the retina and the visual emergency, and the vascular surgeon can step in when there is an underlying circulatory component. Because this is a situation that demands speed, with a sudden loss of vision it is essential to seek a professional evaluation without delay.
