CMO eye, more accurately referred to as Cystoid Macular Edema (CMO), describes a condition affecting the eye. Specifically, it involves fluid leakage in the retina that causes swelling and a decline in detailed vision.
Understanding Cystoid Macular Edema (CMO)
CMO occurs when blood vessels in your retina leak fluid into the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. This fluid accumulation leads to swelling.
Causes of CMO
CMO can arise from several ophthalmic conditions. Some potential causes include:
- Post-operative complications: It can occur following eye surgery.
- Trauma: Eye injuries can trigger CMO.
- Other eye diseases
Impact of CMO
The swelling caused by CMO can impair vision, particularly fine detailed vision.
