Abstract:
Pterygium is a common ocular surface disorder,which causes lowing of vision even blindness once invading into cornea.The pathogenesis of pterygium is still incompletely clear.Recently studies showed that the interaction of a lot of factors lead to the proliferation of pterygium,and angiogenesis may play an important role in the formation and progression of pterygium.The therapies of pterygium focus on surgical resection with autologous conjunctival transplantation,amniontransplantation or transplantation of limbal stem cells,but a high recurrence rate of pterygium is worth studying.The angiogenesis of pterygium is a key problem.This article summarized the research outcomes in regulation and treatment about angionesis in pterygium.
