Question
What should be done about neovascular glaucoma?
Answer
Neovascular glaucoma is mainly caused by the intrusion of new blood vessels within the iris, leading to increased intraocular pressure and further vision decline. A thorough examination is required for diagnosis, and the vision loss caused by neovascular glaucoma cannot be fully recovered. The primary method of treatment is through surgery, but surgery is invasive and cannot ensure stable vision; it may even result in further vision deterioration and gradual swelling of the eye.
