Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a blockage in a small blood vessel that carries blood away from your retina. Symptoms include blurry vision or vision loss in one eye, which may develop suddenly. RVO can lead to serious complications like swelling or bleeding in your eye. Without treatment, these issues can lead to vision loss.

What are the symptoms of retinal vein occlusion?
Symptoms of retinal vein occlusion typically affect one eye and include: Blurry vision or vision loss: This may start suddenly or develop gradually over a period of hours or days. Floaters: These are dark spots or lines in your field of vision. Pain or pressure in your eye: This is typically in more severe cases. You may not have any symptoms until complications arise. Some people don’t realize there’s a problem until their provider finds the issue during a routine eye exam.
What causes retinal vein occlusion?
A disruption to normal blood flow through your retinal vein causes this condition. The disruption may happen due to: A blood clot. A slowdown of blood flow. Compression of your retinal vein at the point where it crosses paths with your retinal artery. Your retinal artery supplies oxygen-rich blood to your retina. Your retinal artery may grow stiff from aging or plaque buildup, and it may press on your retinal vein. This can damage the inner lining of your retinal vein, creating conditions where a blood clot is more likely to form.
What are the complications of retinal vein occlusion?
Retinal vein occlusion can lead to complications such as: Cystoid macular edema: This is swelling in the center of your retina (macula). It can cause blurry vision or loss of vision. Neovascularization of the eye: Abnormal blood vessels can form in different parts of your eye, typically your iris (rubeosis iridis). This happens in about 1 in 4 people with RVO. Abnormal blood vessels less commonly form in your retina. Bleeding in your eye (vitreous hemorrhage): This is when blood leaks into your vitreous humor, the gel-like substance that fills your eyeball. It results from the formation of abnormal blood vessels, which are prone to leaking. Neovascular glaucoma: Abnormal blood vessels in your eye can cause pain and a dangerous increase in pressure inside your eye. Retinal detachment: Abnormal blood vessels in your retina may cause your retina to pull away from the tissues that support it. People with RVO have a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases, including stroke, compared to people without RVO. This may be due to shared underlying risk factors like high blood pressure and atherosclerosis.
How is retinal vein occlusion diagnosed?
Eye care specialists diagnose RVO through an eye exam and retinal imaging tests. They also coordinate care with your primary care physician (PCP) to discover the cause of blood flow problems.
What are the treatments for retinal vein occlusion?
There’s currently no way to reverse or cure the blockage in your retinal vein. But eye care specialists can prevent or treat the complications of retinal vein occlusion with: Anti-VEGF injections. Steroid injections. Panretinal photocoagulation (PRP). Vitrectomy surgery. Medications to manage risk factors. The goals of treatment are to: Improve your vision or prevent it from getting worse. Identify and treat complications that can harm your vision and eye health. Manage risk factors to prevent future problems. Your provider will combine treatment options as necessary and explain the timing for each.
Can I prevent retinal vein occlusion?
Learning you’re at risk for retinal vein occlusion is the first step toward preventing it. Talk to your ophthalmologist or optometrist about your level of risk and how to lower it. It’s also important to talk to your primary care physician about underlying conditions that raise your risk for blood flow problems. They’ll recommend treatments as needed to manage those conditions and help keep your eyes — and whole body — healthy. Specific things you can do to lower your risk include: Follow a diet that supports your heart and blood vessel health. Make exercise part of your daily routine. Keep a weight that’s healthy for you. Avoid smoking and all tobacco products.
What can I expect if I have this condition?
Your prognosis depends on many factors, including the location of the blockage and complications that arise. Some people have permanent vision damage, while others have vision that gradually gets better over time. Your eye care specialist is the best person to tell you exactly what you can expect in your individual situation. Your provider may refer you to vision rehabilitation. This is a form of rehab that teaches you techniques for living with reduced vision. These may include using devices like magnifying glasses or assistive-computer technology. Your provider may also refer you to a social worker who can help you cope with lifestyle changes.
How do I take care of myself?
Living with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) can be stressful because you may need: Multiple eye injections Multiple laser treatments. Many follow-up appointments. Help getting to and from your appointments (if your condition or treatment prevents you from driving safely). All of this may take a toll and feel overwhelming to you. Remember that your healthcare team is there to help you. Talk to your providers about how you’re feeling. They may suggest resources to help you learn more about your condition and why all of this effort is so important. They may also connect you with support groups or other community resources where you can talk to people who are in a similar situation. Learning from others’ experiences and sharing your own can help make everything feel more manageable.
When should I seek medical care?
Your eye care specialist will tell you how often you need appointments for monitoring or treatment. Call them if you experience new or changing symptoms or have questions about your treatment plan.
What questions should I ask my provider?
You may want to ask your eye care specialist: What caused the blockage in my retinal vein? What treatments are best for me? What are the benefits and risks of each treatment? What follow-ups will I need? How will this condition affect my vision? What is my outlook? A note from Cleveland Clinic It can be easy to forget that blood vessels play an important role in your vision. That’s because people often talk about veins and arteries that connect to your heart, brain or other large organs. But your retinal veins, though tiny, are just as important. A blockage can lead to serious issues with your vision and eye health. Plus, it may be a warning sign of blood flow problems throughout your body that need attention. Keeping up with your eye health can help protect your vision, as well as the health of your entire body. Visit an eye care specialist regularly for exams. Tell them about any vision problems or symptoms you’re experiencing. Doing so can help identify problems like retinal vein occlusion (RVO) early so you can prevent or quickly treat complications.

A retinal hemorrhage is the medical term for bleeding in your retina. Hemorrhages are any type of bleeding from a damaged blood vessel. Retinal hemorrhages can be caused by traumas (like getting hit in the head) and health conditions that affect your eyes or blood vessels.
H35.011 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of changes in retinal vascular appearance, right eye. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis. The ICD code H350 is used to code Coats' disease.
