Cannabinoids and Eye: Focus on Angiogenesis and Endothelial Cells

With so much interest, we have read the article by Wang et al., 1 which has discussed current data about cannabinoids (CBNs) in the field of ophthalmology. Angiogenic dependent diseases such as diabetic retinopathy (DRP) 2 and corneal neovascularization (CNV) 3 are among the prevalent diseases of the eye. Herein, we would like to shortly evaluate the potential of cannabinoids for the treatment of the mentioned diseases. Angiogenesis has been described as new blood vessel formation which mostly observes in pathological conditions.
