Choroidal neovascular membranes are new, damaging blood vessels that grow beneath the retina. If you have CNVM, you may experience painless vision loss.
To diagnose CNVM, your ophthalmologist will take special photographs of your eye. They take these images using fluorescein angiography (FA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Treatment includes anti-VEGF drugs, thermal laser treatment or photodynamic therapy (PDT). Depending on the progress of your disease, you may receive one or more of these treatments. Treating CNVM can help stabilize your vision and prevent further vision loss.
If you have any questions about your eyes or your vision, speak with your ophthalmologist. They are committed to protecting your sight.
