Article Abstract
Corneal neovascularization (CoNV) is a vision-threatening ocular disease commonly secondary to infectious, inflammatory, and traumatic etiologies. Slit lamp photography, in vivo confocal microscopy, angiography, and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) are the primary diagnostic tools utilized in clinical practice to evaluate the vasculature of the ocular surface. However, there is currently a dearth of comprehensive literature that reviews the advancements in imaging technology for CoNV administration. Initially designed for retinal vascular imaging, OCTA has now been expanded to the anterior segment and has shown promising potential for imaging the conjunctiva, cornea, and iris. This expansion allows for the quantitative monitoring of the structural and functional changes associated with CoNV. In this review, we emphasize the impact of algorithm optimization in anterior segment-optical coherence tomography angiography (AS-OCTA) on the diagnostic efficacy of CoNV. Through the analysis of existing literature, animal model assessments are further reported to investigate its pathological mechanism and exhibit remarkable therapeutic interventions. In conclusion, AS-OCTA holds broad prospects and extensive potential for clinical diagnostics and research applications in CoNV.

Nanomaterials are widely used. The gases emitted from industrial manufacturing contain nanoparticles, which increases the chance of nanomaterials coming into contact with the eyes. Nanomaterials may cause damage to the eyeball wall and eye contents, manifested as keratitis, neovascularization of the iris, vitreous inflammation, retinitis, etc.

Pterygium is a common ocular surface lesion, and postoperative recurrence remains a major challenge due to insufficient therapeutic strategies targeting fibroblast proliferation and inflammation. Fibrinogen hydrogel (Fibrin glue, FG), a bioadhesive hydrogel, is widely used in pterygium surgery to secure conjunctival autografts. However, its low adhesion often leads to graft detachment, hindering effective repair.

Corneal ulcers pose a significant threat to vision and require timely, effective intervention to prevent permanent damage. This experimental study evaluated the therapeutic potential of combining crushed limbal tissue with either bovine amniotic membrane (AM) or a conjunctival flap to enhance corneal wound healing in a rabbit model. Twenty-five New Zealand white rabbits were randomly assigned to five groups: (G1) untreated control, (G2) AM alone, (G3) conjunctival flap alone, (G4) AM with crushed limbal tissue, and (G5) conjunctival flap with crushed limbal tissue.

Targeting pathological corneal neovascularization arising from infection or disease is essential to preserve corneal transparency and avoid vision loss. Aniridia-associated keratopathy (AAK), a rare genetic eye condition caused by PAX6 haploinsufficiency, leads to chronic inflammation, neovascularization, and vision loss, and has limited therapeutic options. Here we evaluated Olisens®, an antisense oligonucleotide targeting insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), in a Pax6 heterozygous mouse model of AAK.
