Ocular neovascularization. The Krill memorial lecture.

P Henkind

    American Journal of Ophthalmology
    |March 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Ocular neovascularization involves new blood vessel growth in various eye parts, driven by multiple factors like inflammation and hypoxia. The eye also has natural agents that inhibit this abnormal vessel formation.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Vascular Biology
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • The eye's vascular systems are susceptible to abnormal new vessel formation (neovascularization).
    • Understanding the stimuli and regulation of ocular neovascularization is crucial for treating related diseases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the various factors contributing to new vessel growth in different ocular vascular beds.
    • To discuss the differential sensitivity of ocular tissues to angiogenic stimuli.
    • To highlight the dynamic nature of ocular neovascularization and the presence of inhibitory factors.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on ocular neovascularization.
    • Discussion of identified vasculogenic factors and their impact on ocular tissues.
    • Analysis of the sensitivity of different ocular vascular beds to angiogenic stimuli.

    Main Results:

    • New vessel growth occurs in the cornea, lens, iris, ciliary body, choroid, retina, and optic nerve head.
    • Multiple factors, including inflammation, hypoxia, tumor angiogenic factor, and aging, contribute to ocular neovascularization.
    • Ocular tissues exhibit varying sensitivities to angiogenic stimuli, with the iris and choroid being most sensitive.

    Conclusions:

    • Ocular neovascularization is multifactorial and tissue-specific.
    • Retinal neovascularization requires both biochemical factors and a compromised retinal vascular bed.
    • The process is dynamic, requiring persistent stimuli, and the normal eye possesses endogenous anti-angiogenic agents.
