Abstract

Neovascular glaucoma (NVG) is a secondary glaucoma characterized by the growth of new blood vessels in the iris and a fibrovascular membrane over the trabecular meshwork. It is most commonly caused by conditions like diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion. Diagnosis involves clinical examinations and imaging tests, and treatment options include anti-VEGF therapy, laser treatment, and surgical interventions. However, managing NVG is challenging, and the choice of treatment should consider factors like socioeconomic status and comorbid medical conditions. The document provides a list of references for further research on the management and treatment of NVG, covering topics like the role of growth factors, different surgical procedures, and adjunctive treatments.
