Vascular retinopathy is a term covering any of a group of retina disorders of the eye caused by problems affecting the blood vessels, either locally "in the eye" or "throughout the body". 

These  problems may cause:

  1. retinal hemorrhage which is leakage from the vessels that transmit the fluids of the eye

  2. microaneurysms which are abnormally enlarged blood vessels in the eye

  3. retinal edema which is the accumulation of fluid in the eye

  4. loss of eyesight

Many cases of this eye disorder are linked to either diabetes, high blood pressure or both. Diabetic retinopathy is considered a form of vascular retinopathy.
