Ocular angiogenesis, including retinopathy of prematurity, diabetic retinopathy, and exudative age-related macular degeneration, are closely related to oxidative stress. Many reports have shown that the cellular protective mechanism against oxidative stress and inflammatory response has nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness and mechanism of Nrf2 activation in treating the ocular diseases with abnormal vessels.
