ABSTRACT
@#Fibrotic disease can disrupt the normally transparent ocular tissues resulting in irreversible loss of vision. A common feature in fibrotic eye disease is the transdifferentiation of cells into myofibroblasts that can occur through a process known as epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Transforming growth factor β has a central role in fibrogenesis by modulating the fibroblast function, inducing myofibroblast transdifferentiation and promoting extracellular matrix accumulation. It has been implicated in numerous fibrotic eye diseases. This article aims to introduce the new progression on TGFβ and fibrotic ocular diseases and its clinical significance for providing the reference in clinical practices.
