A Two-Stage Laser-Induced Mouse Model of Subretinal Fibrosis Secondary to Choroidal Neovascularization.

Purpose: To develop a model that can recapitulate key features of macular fibrosis in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

Methods: Adult C57BL/6J mice received three laser burns/eye to induce choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Seven days later, a second laser burn was directed to each of the neovascular lesions.
