Vitreoretinopathy is a medical condition that affects the eyes, specifically the retina and the vitreous gel that fills the eye. It is a long and complex word that may be difficult to remember. Thankfully, there are several synonyms for this condition that are easier to recall. Some of these include retinal degeneration, vitreous detachment, and macular degeneration. Other terms that may be used to describe vitreoretinopathy include retinal dystrophy and retinopathy of prematurity. Regardless of the specific term used, this condition can cause significant visual impairment and should be treated promptly by a qualified eye doctor.
