What happens during the disease - other proliferative retinopathy
Other proliferative retinopathy is a condition characterized by the growth of abnormal new blood vessels in the retina. this is usually caused by a lack of oxygen in the retina, which is caused by high intraocular pressure or other underlying conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or glaucoma. the newly formed blood vessels are fragile and can cause bleeding and scarring in the retina, leading to vision loss.
