Abstract
Neovascular glaucoma is one of the most serious complications of diabetic retinopathy with devastating visual outcome. Tissue hypoxic-ischemic injury leading to neovascularization is the main pathological mechanism. It is characterized by iris neovascularization, closed anterior chamber angle, and extremely high intraocular pressure with severe ocular pain and poor vision, leading to visual function damage finally. At present, retinal laser photocoagulation, condensation, glaucoma valve and vitrectomy combined with other surgeries are feasible for treatment of neovascular glaucoma associated with diabetic retinopathy. Medicine is also highlighted in current research. Many vascular endothelial growth factor blocking or inhibiting agents have shown a good prospect of clinical application recently. The authors made this review on the prevention and treatment progression of neovascular glaucoma associated with diabetic retinopathy upon recent papers. Key words: Retinopathy, diabetic; Glaucoma, neovascular; Treatment
