Neovascular Glaucoma. Current Concepts in Diagnosis and Treatment

Neovascular glaucoma (NVG) is an aggressive secondary glaucoma resulting from iris and anterior chamber angle neovascularization that is most often triggered by underlying retinal ischemia. Because the etiology of angle neovascularization is often the domain of one ophthalmic subspecialty (retina), while the manifestation is the domain of another (glaucoma), the topic is both difficult to treat and to discuss academically.
Also, the subject may not have been previously addressed in as much depth as done here based on historical data demonstrating poor visual outcomes in NVG eyes. The current book, which reviews the causes of NVG, while also updating us on latest methods of addressing neovascularization and safely achieving IOP-lowering, is therefore a welcome and much-needed contribution.
