Ocular angiogenesis in disease states.
Other contributors to this symposium will concern themselves with the stimulus to angiogenesis. My role is to review the character and topography of neovascularization with the eye. It would be redundant, however, if I were merely to recount the morphology of ocular new vessels and their location and not, in the process, draw attention to facets which may provide a clue to their pathogenesis and to attempt some sort of clinico-pathological correlation. This synopsis is confined to pathological angiogenesis involving the retina, iris, and cornea. Preretinal neovascularization alone will be discussed, since other papers will examine the intra-and subretinal locations.
