Old eye CNV means old (inactive) Choroidal Neovascularization.

What is CNV?

CNV happens when abnormal blood vessels grow under the retina. These vessels can leak blood or fluid and damage vision.

What does “old CNV” mean?
• The CNV is not active now
• No current bleeding or leakage
• Usually replaced by scar tissue
• Vision loss (if any) is often permanent, but stable
• It does not need injections unless it becomes active again

Common causes of CNV
• Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
• High myopia (short sight)
• Previous eye inflammation or injury
• Diabetic eye disease
• Certain retinal disorders

Symptoms of old CNV
• Blurred or distorted central vision
• Dark or blank spot in vision (scotoma)
• Vision usually does not worsen suddenly

Follow-up & care
• Regular eye checkups (OCT / fundus exam)
• Monitor vision at home (Amsler grid)
• Control diabetes, blood pressure
• Stop smoking (very important)
