Abstract

India is deemed as the world’s capital of diabetes. Neovascular glaucoma(NVG) remains a therapeutic challenge and the most common cause is diabetes mellitus, followed by central retinal vein occlusion, and ocular ischemic syndrome. Early diagnosis and aggressive control of high IOP and the underlying etiology is crucial to minimize the visual loss. Gonioscopy is vitally important to the early diagnosis because angle neovascularization can occur without iris neovascularisation.Early detection of neovascularization and prophylactic treatment with PRP directed at the ischemic retina are key elements in preventing a visually devastating outcome of this disease. The advent of anti-fibrotics, tube shunts, anti-VEGF agents and newer cycloablation procedures have revolutionized the management and given hope for relatively better outcomes. Attendees of this course will be able to diagnose and treat Neovascular glaucoma confidently.
