Retinal artery occlusion. Retinal artery occlusion is a blockage in one of the small arteries that carry blood to the retina. The retina is a layer of tissue in the back of the eye that is able to sense light. Causes. Retinal arteries may become blocked when a blood clot or fat deposits get stuck in the arteries.
