retinopathy associated with sickle cell disease
Retinopathy associated with sickle cell disease refers to an eye condition characterized by damage to the blood vessels in the retina (the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye) due to the presence of sickle-shaped red blood cells. This condition can result in vision problems and complications, such as bleeding into the retina and retinal detachment.
