Doxycycline Ameliorates the Severity of Experimental Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy in Mice

After successful surgeries for patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, the most common cause of retinal redetachment is proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), which causes severe vision impairment and even blindness worldwide. Until now, the major treatment for PVR is surgical removal of th...
