Symptoms of retinal artery occlusion

The symptoms of retinal artery occlusion include vision loss, blindness, visual field defect, etc.

1. Vision loss

When the patient has retinal artery occlusion, the retina will be compressed, at this time the blood vessels will be blocked and cause insufficient blood supply, so there may be performance of vision loss, but the visual field is often reserved in a narrow area around the temporal side.

2. Blindness

When the retinal artery occlusion causes local blood supply shortage, the optic nerve will be damaged and blindness will occur.

3. Visual field defect

With the gradual deterioration of the disease, the patient's visual field may be significantly damaged, which will cause the disappearance of light reflex.
