This study aimed to evaluate the associations between the concentrations of three major angiogenic cytokines-vascular endothelial growth factor-A165 (VEGF-A165), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB)-in the tear of sulfur mustard (SM)-exposed subjects and corneal neovascularization (CNV) 26 years after exposure.
