Blind spots or blind areas in vision

Seek professional care if you experience any of the following symptoms

• Blind spots or blind areas in vision

• Diabetic retinopathy

  Diabetic retinopathy is a condition that causes vision loss in patients with diabetes. due to damage to the blood vessels in the retina. Your retina is a thin layer of tissue that lines the back of your eyes and responsible for turning the light signals your eyes receive into images in your brain. These damaged vessels in the retina will result in blurring of vision or even vision loss.

• Cataracts

  Degeneration of the lens inside the eye, causing it to become opaque. As a result, lights appear glaring and vision becomes blurred. In the elderly, cataracts are usually caused by aging, In children however, it may be due to genetic conditions, drugs, or viral infections while in the womb.

• Branch retinal vein occlusion

  The retina is a thin layer of tissue that lines the back of the eyes. It is responsible for turning the light signals your eyes receive into images in your brain. Your retina has one main artery and one main vein. When branches of the retinal vein become blocked, it is called branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). The obstruction in the vein might cause leakage of blood and fluid into the retina, resulting in blurry vision and even vision loss.

• Macular edema
• Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease

• Severe myopia

• Central retinal vein occlusion

• Central retinal artery occlusion

  Blockage of the artery that supplies the eye. Risk factors include smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol levels. In some cases, hypercoagulability (tendency to form blood clots) may be present.
