After its development, the oxygen-induced retinopathy model has become widely used in preclinical studies of neovascular retinal diseases. It has been used as a model to study pathological angiogenesis in response to hypoxia. The main advantage of

Oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) can be used to model ischemic retinal diseases such as retinopathy of prematurity and proliferative diabetic retinopathy and to serve as a model for proof-of-concept studies in evaluating antiangiogenic drugs for neovascular diseases. OIR induces robust and reproducible neovascularization in the retina that can be quantified.
