Neovascular glaucoma (NVG) is a severely blinding disease with high intraocular pressure (IOP) resistant to treatment. The main problem in NVG is the release of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) due to retinal ischemia caused by the underlying disease. Both the underlying disease and intraocular pressure should be treated in management of patients with NVG. The purpose of this review is to discuss etiology, pathogenesis, clinic classification and management of NVG. The main purpose in NVG management is to prevent the development of NVG by treating the underlying cause mainly proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) and ocular ischemic syndrome (OIS). If NVG has developed, then it will be necessary to both treat the underlying etiology and high intraocular pressure. Panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) and anti-VEGF drugs are important in the treatment of NVG. Anti-glaucomatous drugs that red...
