Neuropeptides in Eye Surface Inflammation: Substance P, CGRP, and VIP in Ocular Disease

evidence
The takeaway

Neuropeptides (substance P, CGRP, VIP) mediate neurogenic inflammation on the eye surface, contributing to dry eye, allergic conjunctivitis, and corneal wound healing — the neuroimmune basis of ocular surface disease.
