Gupta Eye Hospital, Panipat – Your Emergency Retina Care Center
Retinal Artery Occlusion (RAO) is often referred to as an eye stroke. It occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the retina become blocked. This can cause sudden, painless vision loss in one eye and requires immediate medical attention to prevent permanent blindness.
Why Is It an Emergency?
Just like a brain stroke, the retina needs constant oxygen. When blood flow is blocked, retinal cells begin to die within minutes. Delaying treatment could mean permanent loss of vision.
Symptoms of Retinal Artery Occlusion:
- Sudden blindness or blurred vision in one eye
- A shadow or dark area in central vision
- No pain or redness – making it easy to ignore
- May come on without warning
Who Is at Risk?
People with the following conditions are at higher risk:
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
- Heart disease
- High cholesterol
- Blood clotting disorders
- Smoking habits
