A patient with this disease suffers from an obstruction of the veins responsible for carrying blood away from the retina. Retina is basically is a layer of tissue at the back of the inner eye that transfigures light images to nerve signals and sends them to the brain. There are many risk factors involved with the disease such as Atherosclerosis, Diabetes and High blood pressure (hypertension). In very severe cases it can also cause other eye conditions, such as glaucoma, macular edema (leakage of fluid in the retina), or vitreous hemorrhage.This disease is really bad for the eyes and can cause major deterioration if not diagnosed and treated in time.[commercial link removed]</blockquote>
