| Abstract | Neovascular glaucoma (NVG) is an intractable sight-threatening disease which is extremely difficult to manage and can lead to permanent visual loss. It occurs as a result of iris neovascularization also known as rubeosis iridis. Once the condition develops, early diagnosis and management is essential to minimize visual loss, thus better understanding of the causes and pathogenesis is essential. The objective of this chapter is to discuss the causes, pathogenesis and management options of NVG. |
