There is generally no scarring, but the pigmentation of the burned area may change. A deep partial thickness burn is characterized by pain and whiteness in the area of the burn. This type of burn leaves a scar. Third Degree Burns: This type of burn damages all the layers of the skin.
Retinal neovascularization: Formation of new blood vessels originating from the retinal veins and extending along the inner (vitreal) surface of the retina.
Abstract: A new classification scheme for neovascularization of the iris (NVI) is. presented. This system designates the location of the new vessels by a letter. and the number of quadrants involved by a numeral. The presence of elevated. intraocular pressure (lOP) is denoted by a+ sign. It was found to be a reliable. method in the evaluation of the clinical course and results of treatment in. patients with NVI.
