What is Angiotensin II?
A bioactive octapeptide with strong relevance to ocular blood flow and pressure regulation. Glaucoma and retinal-disease studies examine its roles in intraocular pressure, vascular tone, and neuroinflammation.

Research Summary
Angiotensin II is a real peptide target in ophthalmic pathophysiology, especially glaucoma and retinal vascular disease. It is used mainly as a research tool rather than as a routine treatment.
