Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.
I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are told of having a blocked blood vessel.
This is called as vascular occlusion. Depending on the vessel involved this can be a artery or a vein occlusion. The common causes are atherosclerosis, embolism....
The treatment options depend on the vessel involved and the sure of involvement.
The treatment options available are laser or intravitreal injections.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist as told by your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
With regards
