Abstract:
As incoming arcs of immune response,corneal lymphangiogenesis is closely related to the pathogenesis of many diseases.The relationship between corneal lymphangiogenesis and angiogenesis has been the hotspot.Corneal lymphangiogenesis and angiogenesis destroy the corneal immune privilege mechanism together.It is the urgent problem to study the mechanism of corneal lymphangiogenesis and investigate the treatment of related diseases.This paper reviewed the relation ship among corneal lymphangiogenesis,infection,complications of corneal transplantation,xerophthalmia and pterygium in order to provide theoretical basis for clinical treatment of relevant eye diseases.
