摘要: This invention is a method for the treatment of ophthalmic disorders. The suitable variety disorders including macular holes, degeneration, and retinal detachment tears, cataracts, corneal scleral injuries. entails application an effective amount Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) to affected region.
