Medical Conditions - Choroidal Neovascularization

Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is an abnormal growth of new blood vessels beneath the retina in the eye, specifically in the choroid layer. This condition is often associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) but can also be caused by other eye diseases and conditions. CNV can lead to the leakage of blood and fluids into the retina, resulting in vision distortion and loss. Treatment options for CNV may include anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections, laser therapy, or photodynamic therapy to prevent further vision deterioration.
