Swelling and ischaemia (lack of oxygen) of the retina as well as glaucoma are fairly common complications.\n\nThe visual symptoms can vary in severity from one person to the next, and are dependent on whether the central retinal vein or a branch retinal vein is involved. Patients who experience a branch vein occlusion often notice a gradual improvement in their vision as the haemorrhage resolves. Recovery from a central vein occlusion is much less likely since it affects the macula.\n\nThis problem appears equally in males and females and is more common after the age of 60.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-1110a25 elementor-section-boxed
