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.
The most common cause of retinal detachment is tiny breaks developing inside the retina. The breaks allow the fluid found between the retina and the lens of the eye to leak underneath the retina. A build-up of fluid can cause the retina to pull away from the blood vessels that supply it with blood.
