Choroidal neovascularization in high myopia – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1927545106

This is a condition of the eye where the light that comes in does not directly focus on the retina but in front of it. This causes the image that one sees when looking at a distant object to be out of focus, but in focus when looking at a close object. This diagnosis is with the creation of new blood vessels in the choroid layer of the eye.
