Common causes include chronic inflammation, hypoxia from contact lens wear, and ocular surface diseases.
Treatment options may include anti-VEGF injections, topical medications, and surgical interventions such as penetrating keratoplasty.
In some cases, if the underlying cause is addressed, neovascularization may regress; however, chronic cases may lead to permanent changes in the cornea.
