Vitreous Changes in Vascular Diseases

  • Chapter
Book cover The Vitreous and Vitreoretinal Interface

Abstract

Vascular diseases within the eye are of two main types: those that lead to neovascular proliferation into the vitreous cavity, and those that do not. The former group includes diabetic retinopathy, sickle cell retinopathy, venous obstruction, and radiation retinopathy. The latter group includes arteriolar obstruction, Coats’ disease, and angiomatosis retinae.
