Blepharitis
Blepharitis is a medical condition relating to the inflammation of eyelids and eyelashes. It is characterized by white flaky skin near the eyelashes. Blepharitis usually causes redness of the eyes and itching and irritation of the eyelids.

Branch Retinal Artery Occlusion
The central retinal artery, a branch of the ophthalmic artery, enters the eye through the optic disc and divides into multiple branches to perfuse the inner layers of the retina. A branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) occurs when one of these branches of the arterial supply to the retina becomes occluded.

Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (BRVO)
Much confusion exists in the literature because central and branch retinal vein occlusions (BRVOs) often are grouped and studied together. The natural history and complication rate for each entity differ. The treatments and their results vary from one condition to the other. This article deals exclusively with BRVO. Hemiretinal vein occlusions are probably variants of central retinal vein occlusions, and as such, they are not included in this discussion.
