Retinal arterial tortuosity is a condition in which the arteries in the retina become abnormally twisted or curved. This condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including high blood pressure, diabetes, and certain genetic disorders. It can lead to decreased vision and other vision-related problems. Treatment for retinal arterial tortuosity typically involves controlling the underlying cause, such as managing high blood pressure or diabetes. In some cases, laser treatment may be used to reduce the amount of twisting in the arteries.

The most common symptom of retinal arterial tortuosity is decreased vision. Other symptoms may include:

-Distorted vision
Floaters
Blurred vision
Flashes of light
Dark spots in the vision
Reduced peripheral vision
Eye Pain or discomfort
Headaches
Double vision

1. Hypertension

3. Diabetes
4. Hyperviscosity syndromes
5. Connective tissue disorders
6. Genetic disorders
7. Trauma
8. Inflammatory diseases
9. Intraocular tumors
10. Intraocular inflammation

1. Laser photocoagulation: This procedure uses a laser to seal off the leaking blood vessels in the retina.

2. Intravitreal injections: These injections are used to reduce the swelling of the retina caused by the leaking blood vessels.

3. Vitrectomy: This procedure involves removing the vitreous gel from the eye and replacing it with a gas bubble to help reduce the swelling of the retina.

4. Surgery: Surgery may be necessary to repair any damage to the retina caused by the leaking blood vessels.

5. Anti-VEGF therapy: This therapy involves injecting a medication into the eye to help reduce the swelling of the retina.

1. High myopia (nearsightedness)
2. High hyperopia (farsightedness)
3. Diabetes
4. Hypertension
5. Atherosclerosis
6. Sickle cell anemia
7. Marfan syndrome
8. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
9. Collagen vascular diseases
10. Trauma to the eye

At this time, there is no known cure for retinal arterial tortuosity. However, there are medications that can be used to help manage the condition. These medications include corticosteroids, anti-inflammatory drugs, and vasodilators. Additionally, laser treatments may be used to reduce the risk of retinal detachment.
