The corneal neovascularization model is a vital experimental framework used to study the pathological formation of new blood vessels in the cornea, often resulting from injury, inflammation, or disease. This model helps researchers understand the underlying mechanisms of corneal neovascularization and test potential therapeutic interventions. By simulating the conditions that lead to blood vessel growth in the normally avascular cornea, the Corneal Neovascularization Model provides insights into angiogenesis, aiding in the development of targeted treatments for preventing and reversing vision impairment caused by this condition. Such research is essential for advancing ophthalmic therapies and improving patient outcomes.
