Brief Answer:
The report shows retinal vein occlusion in left eye.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for the follow up question.
I reviewed the report attached with the question.
The report shows retinal vein occlusion in left eye probably secondary to raised blood pressure in left eye.
The next mode of treatment is treatment of blood pressure. The treatment by Losar H is in right direction and your dad need to continue it.
Vein occlusion occurs because of stagnation of blood flow in retinal vein and common predisposing cause is hypertension.
The treatment of the eye requires evaluation by tests like fundus photography, ocular coherence tomography and regular follow up. Most of the times this will resolve in mild cases. In severe cases treatment by laser or injections is required.
Hence I advice your dad should continue treatment for hypertension and attend regular follow up with eye doctor.
Hope this answers your question.
