Content: Risk factors for having a detached retina include being severely nearsighted, having had cataract surgery, an injury to the eye, or a family history of detached retinas. 2. Occlusion of the Retinal Vessel or Artery
This involves a blockage of the blood vessels that bring blood from the retina back to the rest of the body. Occlusions can occur in the smaller branching veins, particularly in an area where the arteries have become narrowed by cholesterol plaques. The hardened arteries put pressure on a nearby vein and then you lose your vision. You can also have blockage of a branch of the retinal artery. The arteries are also usually narrowed by cholesterol plaques and blood clots will form in the narrowed part of the artery, leading to vision loss. 3. Vitreous Hemorrhage
There are certain eye problems that cause blood to enter the vitreous humor of the eye. This is called a vitreous hemorrhage.
