Morphological study of epiretinal membrane following posterior penetrating injury in the monkey eye.

abstract：:Steroids are widely used in the prevention of corneal neovascularization in a wide range of natural and experimental situations. However, no information is available on their effect on the growth of the individual limbal blood vascular cells or of lymphatic cells involved in corneal neovascularization. In addition, tr...
