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 ...

Neovascularization in diabetes

Expert Review of Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2010
Diabetes and its complications are a major public health burden in the developed world. The major cause of diabetic complications is abnormal growth of new blood vessels. This dysfunctional neovascularization results in significant morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes and, as such, is a major focus of basic and clinical investigation.

Recurrent Subretinal Neovascularization

Ophthalmology, 1985
A retrospective analysis of a consecutive series of patients treated with krypton red laser (KRL) photocoagulation for subretinal neovascularization (SRN) secondary to drusen-related macular degeneration (DMD) was carried out to investigate the frequency and nature of recurrent neovascularization (recurrence).

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

Cryotherapy for Iris Neovascularization and Neovascular Glaucoma

1987
Numerous and diverse clinical entities are associated with iris neovascularization, but the most frequently encountered are diabetes mellitus and central retinal vein occlusion. The prevalence of iris neovascularization is between 1–10% among all diabetic patients and over 40% in patients with proliferative retinopathy (1–3).

Macular neovascularization

Survey of Ophthalmology
Neovascularization of the macula, a common complication of many chorioretinal diseases such as neovascular age-related macular degeneration, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, and pathologic myopia, results from increased synthesis of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) by the retinal pigment epithelium and/or Müller cells because of localized ...
