A central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) happens when the single, large vein that drains blood from the inner retina becomes blocked. This usually occurs as the vein passes through the optic nerve on its way out of the eye. Because this vein is the only way for blood to leave the eye, hemorrhages form throughout the retina, blood flow is reduced, and swelling throughout the center of the retina occurs.
