    Central retinal vein occlusion is a common cause of vision loss in older individuals. There are two types classified by where the occlusion occurs - central RVO involves occlusion at or near the optic nerve, where the central retinal vein exits the eye. Risk factors include increasing age over 50, hypertension, smoking, diabetes, and glaucoma. Precipitating factors can include inflammation and diseases like atherosclerosis or sarcoidosis.

    Central Retinal Vein Occlusion- is a common cause of vision loss in older individuals, and the second most common

    retinal vascular disease after


    diabetic retinopathy1. There are two distinct types, classified according to the site of occlusion: in central RVO (CRVO), the occlusion is at or
    proximal to the lamina cribrosa of the optic nerve, where the central retinal vein exits the eye2.

    Predisposing: Precipitating:

    - Inflammation
    - Age: 50 Years and - Disease conditions such
    older as: Atherosclerosis,
    - Hypertension Sarcoidosis, etc.
    - Smoking
    - Diabetes mellitus
    - Glaucoma
