Application of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor on the treatment of neovascular glaucoma

Neovascular glaucoma(NVG)is a common secondary glaucoma, often occurs secondary to diabetic retinopathy, central retinal vein occlusion and retinal ischemia syndrome. Its pathogenesis is complicated. Though conventional treatmentscan brieflyreduce elevated intraocular pressure, degenerate iris neovascularization, the long-term effect for controlling NVG is not obvious. The treatment of NVG ushers in a new dawn with the in-depth study on the pathogenesis of NVG and the use of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)inhibitors in ophthalmic diseases. In this paper, the applications of VEGF inhibitors on the treatment of neovascular glaucoma are reviewed to provide new thoughts for the treatment of NVG
