VEGFA and glaucoma: Healing following trabeculectomy surgery involves a fibroproliferative phase during the first week postoperatively, which may cause conjunctival fibrosis, leading to bleb failure.5 Vascular endothelial growth factor or VEGF is a cytokine, which has potent angiogenic and mitogenic actions, having a highly selective action on vascular endothelial cells, a secondary action on macrophage and fibroblast migration and modulating capillary vascular permeability.6 VEGF has been found to be present in higher amounts in the aqueous of glaucoma patients.
