vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf)
Vascular endothelial growth factor is a protein in the body that promotes the production of blood vessels. During conditions where a part of the body is not getting enough blood, VEGF is stimulated to form new blood vessels to bring more blood. In the eye, the release of VEGF can cause too much blood to enter the eye. This contributes to a number of diseases that may affect vision.
