Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the abnormal development of blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision loss. There are several synonyms for this disease, including hereditary exudative vitreoretinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, and familial exudative retinopathy. These terms are used interchangeably to describe the same condition and highlight the familial nature of this disease. Although there is currently no cure for FEVR, early detection and treatment can help prevent visual impairment and blindness. It is important for patients and their families to work closely with their healthcare providers to manage the symptoms and prevent complications.
