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.

A Sneaky Culprit: Secondary Infectious Keratitis Due to Brevundimonas diminuta.
Eye Contact Lens
January 2025
Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI.
Purpose: To describe a rare case of infectious keratitis secondary to Brevundimonas diminuta, a gram-negative bacillus with fluoroquinolone resistance and rare clinical isolation.
Methods: A 50-year-old man with contact lens overuse presented with a large corneal ulcer and hand motion visual acuity. Initial treatment with fortified topical tobramycin and vancomycin yielded slow improvement, and initial culture grew Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus hominis, and Corynebacterium bovis.

Neovascular glaucoma is a rare and serious condition typically associated with advanced ocular or systemic vascular diseases such as central retinal vein occlusion or diabetic retinopathy. This report describes a unique case of neovascular glaucoma presenting for the first time as an initial symptom of bilateral occlusive retinal vasculitis (ORV) in a generally healthy 4-year-old girl. The patient presented with symptoms of pain and redness in the left eye, accompanied by high intraocular pressure.

Dalian Medical University, Dalian, China.
Background: The study aimed to review the etiology of corneal blindness and investigate the relative risk of corneal graft rejection (CGR) in the southern Liaoning region.
Methods: The clinical records of 359 patients (394 eyes) who underwent corneal transplantation at the Department of Keratoconus of the Third People's Hospital of Dalian from January 2019 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The data included patients' age, gender, occupation, diagnosis, surgical procedure, postoperative immune rejection, and neovascularization.
Engineered Neutrophil Nanovesicles for Inhibiting Corneal Neovascularization by Synergistic Anti-Inflammatory, Anti-VEGF, and Chemoexcited Photodynamic Therapy.

State Key Laboratory Cultivation Base, Shandong Provincial Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Eye Institute of Shandong First Medical University, Qingdao, 266071, China.
Corneal neovascularization (CorNV) develops under various pathological conditions and is one of the main causes of blindness. Due to that CorNV progression involves multiple steps, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs alone could not sufficiently suppress this process, highlighting an urgent need for an efficient delivery system for the multi-step management of CorNV. In this study, a neutrophil nanovesicle-based eye drop (NCCR) is developed for CorNV therapy that simultaneously inhibits angiogenesis and inflammation, while eliminating pathological cells through chemoexcited photodynamic therapy (PDT).
