Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO) is one of the leading causes of vision loss in adults over 55—and it can happen without warning. Often called an “eye stroke,” RVO occurs when a vein in the retina becomes blocked, leading to swelling, bleeding, and vision problems.
Common symptoms include:
• Blurry or distorted vision
• Sudden vision loss in one eye
• Dark spots or floaters
• Difficulty reading or recognizing faces
The good news? With early diagnosis and advanced treatments like anti-VEGF injections, laser therapy, and ongoing care, many patients can preserve their vision and maintain quality of life.
Key risk factors to watch:
High blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, glaucoma, smoking, and age 55+
Regular eye exams are one of the best ways to catch problems early—before they impact your sight.
