Ranibizumab is a humanized, affinity-matured vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibody fragment that neutralizes all isoforms of VEGF and is FDA approved for use in ophthalmology. Recently it was suggested that ranibizumab may be useful in the treatment of corneal neovascularization, but in reality this therapy is not yet evidence based.
