What Causes Occlusions In Both The Retinas With Loss Of Sleep?
I have occlusions in both retinas and have been told it s a matter of a blockage in the artery behind the lens. I also have a lot of trouble sleeping, I m. Lucky to get 4 hours. Are these symptoms related to a lack of blood to my brain? And if so, could the cause be a blocked carotid?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having occlusion of retinal artery with loss of sleep.
Occlusion of the retinal artery is not related to loss of sleep.
The occlusion of the retinal artery is because of atherosclerosis or caused by thrombus or embolus.
This requires evaluation to rule out these causes hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
