Retinal Vessels
 Retinal vessels is the popular name commonly used for the more accurate one, i.e., retinal vessel occlusion; that blocks the blood supply to the retina. The reasons for such a blockage stem from glaucoma, hypertension, diabetes, coagulation disorders, atherosclerosis, or hyperlipidemia. Vision loss is a rule with retinal artery occlusion whereas it is only a risk with retinal vein occlusion. It also depends on the exact location of the occlusion, like retinal vein occlusion may even lead to glaucoma.  It has two types:
Either a blood clot, or fat, or a plaque may get stuck in the blood vessel and block either a retinal artery or a retinal vein. 
Retinal artery occlusion is more serious an infliction than retinal vein occlusion.    Retinal vessel occlusion may even lead to a stoke if the blood clot extends to a vessel in the brain! Older people are more at risk! Sudden blurring of vision should always be doubted for a retinal vessel occlusion. The patient suddenly lost vision in the left eye 
There are quite a few eye exams to confirm the diagnosis:
Inhaling a carbon di oxide/oxygen mixture causes the retinal vessels to dilate and the clot to move down the vessel, thus tending to act as a treatment. In retinal artery occlusion, the underlying cause must be treated first; like hypertension, valvular heart disease, or carotid artery blockage. In retinal vein occlusion, aspirin and laser therapy seem to work but only partially. But here also, if the underlying cause is not treated, prognosis is going to be poor in the long run! 
Prognosis for retinal artery occlusion is poor as far as visual recovery is concerned whereas it is quite good in the case of retinal vein occlusion. 
Unless one changes one's life-style, the problem is not going to go completely. 
Although the medical fraternity takes this change in the life-style to be an exercise regimen and a low fat diet, only this much is not sufficient for the purpose and doesn't get the desired results in an efficient way. What is really required to be done is opening the third eye and thus bringing a paradigm change in the life-style from moment to moment, every single moment! Vision therapy trains you for this only and that too, in an unbelievingly easy way! I invite you to subscribe to my weekly E-zine titled Third Eye-zine. This weekly E-zine publishes rare, revolutionary articles which are of real use in the day-to-day life of a common man, covering topics concerning the effect of third eye opening on health, diseases, personality, performance, efficiency, relationship, sex, mind, creativity, passion, business, management, and energy level of a person; apart from its effect on vision correction. A not-to-be-missed opportunity! Subscribe to it here: I also invite you to subscribe to my Third Eye Blog - no need to provide your e-mail address here.
