Research Article: Cyclophotocoagulation versus Ahmed Glaucoma Implant in Neovascular Glaucoma with Poor Vision at Presentation
Introduction:
Neovascular glaucoma (NVG) is a secondary glaucoma that can cause blindness. It is characterized by the development of neovascularization of the iris, elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), and compromised vision. NVG can be caused by retinal or ocular ischemia and ocular inflammation. It is associated with forming a fibrovascular membrane on the anterior surface of the iris and in the iridocorneal angle of the anterior chamber. This fibrovascular membrane invades the anterior chamber, obstructing the aqueous…
