CH Kon, NL Occleston, GW Aylward, PT Khaw - Investigative ophthalmology & visual science, 1999 - ARVO PURPOSE: Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a major cause of failure of
retinal detachment surgery. It is believed to be a wound- healing process in the
retina. Many of the cellular functions are influenced by cytokines and ... Cited by 114 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 5 versions
