Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a common vascular disorder of the retina, characterized by the blockage of the retinal vein. This can lead to significant visual impairment and is often associated with conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. The retina is a delicate, multi-layered tissue that plays a crucial role in vision, and any disruption in its blood supply can have severe consequences.
