  Purpose

Eight patients with corneal neovascularization were treated with subconjunctival injection of 1.25 mg bevacizumab and had a follow-up of at least 2 months. All patients had persistent corneal neovascularization for at least 6 months unresponsive to other treatments. Patients were monitored by ophthalmic exam and anterior segment photography.

Experimental: 1
A single intraoperative subconjunctival application of bevacizumab and 2 months follow-up
 Drug: Bevacizumab
subconjunctival injection of 1.25 mg bevacizumab and had a follow-up of at least 2 months

Detailed Description:

To evaluate the effect of repeated subconjunctival bevacizumab (Avastin®, Roche, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) on inflammatory corneal neovascularization.

Eight patients with corneal neovascularization were treated with subconjunctival injection of 1.25 mg bevacizumab and had a follow-up of at least 2 months. All patients had persistent corneal neovascularization for at least 6 months unresponsive to other treatments. Patients were monitored by ophthalmic exam and anterior segment photography.
