Subconjunctival bevacizumab injection for corneal neovascularization in recurrent pterygium.
PURPOSE We report on the use of subconjunctival bevacizumab on corneal vessel density in recurrent pterygia. METHODS The charts of 5 patients with recurrent pterygium, who received subconjunctival injections of bevacizumab (2.5 mg/0.1 ml) were retrospectively reviewed. Ophthalmic evaluation included Snellen visual acuity (VA), tonometry and complete examination before the injection and at 1 w...

Vascular growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) have been detected in pterygium [12-15].There is marked elevation of VEGF in pterygia in comparison to normal conjunctival samples [12-15]. Although the pathogenesis of pterygia is still poorly understood, their formation and progression are known to depend on neovascularization. It has been postulated that the developmen...
