Corneal neovascularization treated with argon laser PAUL
Corneal neovascularization can be troublesome, especially in an eye which is to have a corneal graft. A corneal transplant is more likely to be rejected in a vascularized than a non-vascularized cornea. In this and many other clinical situations, therefore, it is desirable that corneal new vessels be obliterated. Many treatments have been suggested, including corticosteroids, irradiation, thiot...
متن کاملCorneal neovascularization treated with argon laser.
The argon laser set at 50 mum, 100-150 mW, o-2 s occluded corneal blood vessels in pigmented Dutch rabbits provided the corneal responsible for inducing vascularization was inactive. After arterial treatment with the argon laser retrograde flow in untreated veins was demonstrated by fluorescein angiography. Therefore all corneal new vessels should be treated, not just arteries. Minimal iris dam...
متن کاملTracheal rhinoscleroma treated by argon laser.
Rhinoscleroma is a chronic progressive granulomatous condition due to Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis.' In severe cases the typical nodular lesions may extend from the nasopharynx into the respiratory tract and be refractory to antibiotics. We are currently investigating the use of laser treatment for lesions in the trachea and major bronchi.2 Such treatment is applicable to benign and malignant le...
متن کاملTherapeutic approaches for corneal neovascularization
Angiogenesis refers to new blood vessels that originate from pre-existing vascular structures. Corneal neovascularization which can lead to compromised visual acuity occurs in a wide variety of corneal pathologies. A large subset of measures has been advocated to prevent and/or treat corneal neovascularization with varying degrees of success. These approaches include topical corticosteroid admi...
متن کاملCorneal Neovascularization: A Translational Perspective
Corneal neovascularization (CNV) results from the growth of new vessels from the limbal vasculature into the normally avascular cornea. As the second cause of severe visual impairment worldwide, it represents a major clinical problem. This occurs because CNV often leads to corneal opacification, thus reducing visual acuity. CNV is a well characterized and complex process, which includes differe...
