Neovascularization can cause retinal hemorrhage, vitreous hemorrhage, and other serious complications, leading to loss of vision. The treatment of intraocular neovascularization is the focus of ophthalmology research. In recent years, some studies have found that autophagy is closely related to vascular endothelial growth factor and the formation of neovascularization. Autophagy is expected to become a new target for the treatment of intraocular neovascularization. Therefore, this article reviews the research on autophagy and the formation of intraocular neovascularization.展开更多
