Aqueous humor concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor and pigment epithelium-derived factor in high myopic patients.

Abstract

Aqueous humor levels of VEGF in the high myopia group were significantly lower than those in the control group. The differing levels of VEGF and PEDF in the high myopia and control groups suggest that high myopia disrupts the VEGF/PEDF balance in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells.
