Abstract
- Corneal neovascularization is a major complication of several corneal diseases and many investigations have been performed to inhibit the ingrowth of vessels in the corneal tissue. In this experiment, the author investigate the clinical effect of cartilage to corned neovascularization. Using 12 albino rabbits, corneal neovascularization was induced by alkali burns, and cartilage was implanted subconjunctivally at the limbus before or after the alkali burns. Except 2 eyes which showed inhibition of neovascularization after implantation of cartilage, there was no demonstrable difference between control and cartilage-implanted eyes.
