Inhibitors of neovascularization in relation to diabetic and other proliferative retinopathies.

The demonstration of an inhibitory effect on the potent source of corneal neovascularization which is elicited by the stromal implantation of solid tumours raises the possibility that similar inhibition may be obtained in the animal model of retinal neovascularization. A major program has been initiated to extend the inhibitor studies observed in cornea to the retina.
