What is branch retinal vein occlusion?
Branch retinal vein occlusion is a blockage of the small veins that carry blood away from the retina. This blockage obstructs the vision signals to the brain causing blurred vision or loss of vision. Usually this is caused by hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) and formation of clots.
