Aberrant growth of blood vessels in the eye is a major cause of vision loss, occurring as a complication of diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and retinal vascular occlusions, among others. Whereas in humans, in vivo angiography is routinely used to image such diseases, many animal models of ocular vascular disease and development rely on dissected tissues that may not accurately represent in vivo conditions and require enucleation of the eye, the death of the animal, or both.
