AI Article Synopsis
- Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a major retinal disorder, often occurring unexpectedly and causing significant psychological effects compared to other conditions like diabetic retinopathy.
- Research highlights cardiovascular diseases as key risk factors for RVO, with evidence suggesting that diet, particularly higher intakes of fish, nuts, fruits, and vegetables, can offer protective benefits.
- There is a growing focus on plant-based diets in both general and scientific circles, leading to an exploration of how various nutrients may influence the risk and impact of retinal vein occlusion.
Article Abstract
Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is the second most common retinal disorder. In comparison to diabetic retinopathy or age-related macular degeneration, RVO is usually an unexpected event that carries a greater psychological impact. There is strong evidence to suggest that cardiovascular diseases are the most common risk factors in this pathology and it has long been known that a higher consumption of fish, nuts, fruits, and vegetables has a protective effect against these types of conditions. In the last several years, interest in plant-based diets has grown in both the general population and in the scientific community, to the point to which it has become one of the main dietary patterns adopted in Western countries. The aim of this review is to investigate the potential impact of macro- and micronutrients on retinal vein occlusion.
