Central retinal artery occlusion
Central retinal artery occlusion
The Retina in the eye acts as a projection screen on which light from the outside is focussed to be transmitted to the brain. It receives it's supply of blood via the central retinal artery. This can get blocked due to high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, inflammatory diseases, infections and heart conditions. There is sudden loss of vision in the affected eye without any pain. This is an emergency and treatment should be sought urgently.
