Radiation retinopathy is a condition that can occur after receiving radiation therapy for cancer. It is characterized by damage to the retina, leading to vision loss and other symptoms. Some synonyms for radiation retinopathy include radiation-induced retinal injury, radiation-associated retinopathy, and radiation-induced maculopathy. Other terms used to describe this condition may include retinal ischemia, retinovascular occlusion, and capillary non-perfusion. While treatments may vary, in some cases, patients may be candidates for laser therapy or anti-VEGF injections to help manage symptoms and prevent further damage. It is important for patients who have undergone radiation therapy to be aware of potential complications such as radiation retinopathy and to maintain regular eye exams to monitor for any changes in vision.
