both amaurosis fugax and retinal detachment produce a sensation of a curtain passing across the visual, how do you differentiate them?
also
How would differentiate retinal artery occlusion versus retinal vein occlusion?

it is caused by retinal emboli from ipsilateral carotid disease.
it is described as a curtain passing vertically across the visual field with complete mono ocular visiual loss lasting a few minutes and a similar curtain effect as the episode passes.

In RD blurred vision in one eye becomes progrssively worse.Ophthalmoscopy shows retina hanging in the vitreous like a gray cloud..
CRVO: severity of visual loss is variable.The visual impairment in first noticed upon waking in the morning. Ophthalmoscopy--- disk sqelling,venous dilation and tortuosity, retinal hemorrhages and cotton wool spots.
CRAO: sudden profound visual loss. Ophthalmoscopy pallid swelling of the retina with a cherry red spot at the fovea.
