Current and emerging therapies for ocular neovascularisation

Adv Exp Med Biol. 2014:801:797-804. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4614-3209-8_100.

Abstract

Ocular neovascularisation (ONV) is a pathological feature of many human blinding diseases. Here, we review current pharmacological therapies for these disorders and highlight emerging therapies in clinical trial for ONV. Finally, we discuss desirable characteristics of future ONV therapies, including innovative strategies for novel delivery to the back of the eye.
