Choroidal Neovascularization

Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a condition where new, abnormal blood vessels grow in the choroid layer of the eye, which is located beneath the retina. These new vessels can leak fluid and blood, leading to vision problems and potential vision loss. CNV is often associated with age-related macular degeneration and can cause distortion or dark spots in vision. Treatment options may include medications, laser therapy, or injections to help control the growth of these vessels and preserve eyesight. Early detection and management are crucial for better outcomes.
