IL-17A Enhances Retinal Neovascularization. [PDF]
Retinal neovascularization occurs in proliferative diabetic retinopathy, neovascular glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration. This type of retinal pathology normally occurs in the later stages of these ocular diseases and is a prevalent cause of vision loss.

A pilot optical coherence tomography angiography classification of retinal neovascularization in retinopathy of prematurity. [PDF]
Extraretinal neovascularization is a hallmark of treatment-requiring retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) offers vascular flow and depth information not available from indirect ophthalmoscopy and structural ...
