Abstract
The invention provides a method for treating or preventing ocular neovascularization. The method administers an effective amount of a staurosporine derivative to treat or prevent retinal or choroidal neovascularization. In each case, the effect on the pathologic blood vessels is dramatic and profound with complete or near-complete inhibition, but there is no identifiable toxic effect on mature retinal vessels.
