Visual Prognosis With the Various Modalities of Treatment Available for Neovascular Glaucoma at a Tertiary Level Hospital

Abstract

BACKGROUNDNeovascular glaucoma (NVG) is a refractory type of glaucoma. In neovascular glaucoma elevation of IOP is caused by synechial angle closure through contraction of fibrovascular tissue. The symptoms of NVG are distressing, the visual loss severe and glaucoma intractable. Timely treatment with photocoagulation and Modified trabeculectomy and Artificial filtering shunts offers the patient a symptom-free life if not better vision. Intravitreal anti-VEGF cause rapid regression of iris and angle neovascularisation helping in the therapy of NVG.
