Corneal neovascularization

Experimental Eye Research, 2021
The optical clarity of the cornea is essential for maintaining good visual acuity. Corneal neovascularization, which is a major cause of vision loss worldwide, leads to corneal opacification and often contributes to a cycle of chronic inflammation. While numerous factors prevent angiogenesis within the cornea, infection, inflammation, hypoxia, trauma ...

Corneal neovascularization

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2001
Corneal neovascularization (NV) is a sight-threatening condition usually associated with inflammatory or infectious disorders of the ocular surface. It has been shown in the field of cancer angiogenesis research that a balance exists between angiogenic factors (such as fibroblast growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor) and anti-angiogenic

Histopathology of Corneal Neovascularization

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1983
We have developed an experimental model for the quantitative examination of the kinetics of the inflammatory cell response to thermal corneal injury. Using this model, we found a considerable difference in the type of inflammatory cell response to vasculogenic (peripheral) and nonvasculogenic (central) thermal cautery of the cornea.

Photodynamic Therapy for Corneal Neovascularization

Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 1998
* BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Photodynamic therapy with tin ethyl etiopurpurin (SnET2) was evaluated as a treatment modality for rat corneal neovascularization . * MATERIALS AND METHODS: Escalating light doses at 664 nm were applied focally to corneal neovascularization in rats 1 0 minutes following an intravenous injection of SnET2 using a low-

The Effect of Corneal Trephination on Neovascularization

Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 1983
SUMMARY In order to investigate a neural influence on corneal neovascularization, we attempted to induce new vessel growth within a denervated zone produced by trephination. The stimulus for vascularization was cauterization central to the trephined margin.
