Retinal and choroidal angiogenesis are the leading causes of
irreversible vision loss in developed countries. For this reason,
ocular angiogenesis is an intensely studied process, and the field
is advancing at an astounding pace. It has become increasingly
difficult to manage the vast amount of information generated by the
growing group of interested investigators, thus a resource is
needed that distills and summarizes our progress to date.
Additionally, novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of
ocular angiogenesis are discussed, as are the unique challenges
presented by delivery of drugs to the eye. Retinal and Choroidal
Angiogenesis emphasizes basic principles rather than specific
experimental results, although recently acquired data is frequently
cited to illustrate points of broader theoretical significance. The
result is a reference work appealing to ophthalmologists interested
in clinical applications, as well as to basic scientists interested
in the cellular and molecular mechanisms of angiogenesis, both in
the context of ocular and non-ocular conditions.
