Abstract

Corneal neovascularization is one of the most common causes of decreased visual acuity and disability for vision loss, increase in the risk of corneal graft rejection, and appearance of opacifications on the cornea. This article reviews literature on etiological factors of the development of corneal neovascularization, as well as modern methods of diagnosis, conservative and surgical treatment of this pathology.

Неоваскуляризация роговицы является одной из причин снижения остроты зрения и инвалидизации пациентов, увеличения риска отторжения трансплантата после пересадки роговицы, появления помутнений на роговице. Обзор литературы посвящен описанию этиологических факторов развития неоваскуляризации роговицы, современным методам ее диагностики, а также способам консервативного и хирургического лечения данной патологии.
