Neovascular glaucoma (NVG) is a severe and aggressive form of secondary glaucoma that has often been overlooked or considered a secondary concern in glaucoma reference books. It is a terminal stage complication in individuals with specific underlying retinal diseases, most commonly diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusions. Historically, NVG has posed significant challenges in management, with a high failure rate for traditional glaucoma surgery and a tendency for the underlying retinal disease to progress despite standard treatment.
This comprehensive book provides a detailed overview of NVG, covering advancements in the management of the underlying ischemic retinal conditions that lead to this condition. Chapters discuss the use of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) medications, which have revolutionized the treatment of NVG by inhibiting the growth of new blood vessels. Additionally, chapters explore the latest developments in glaucoma surgeries, including microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), which has become less invasive and more effective in treating NVG.
The book offers an up-to-date reference on current concepts in the diagnosis, medical, laser, and surgical treatment of NVG in the anti-VEGF era. It emphasizes the close collaboration between glaucoma specialists and retina specialists, as these two fields play a critical role in the management of NVG. By providing a comprehensive approach to NVG, this book aims to improve patient outcomes and ensure that ophthalmologists worldwide have the necessary knowledge and tools to manage this complex condition effectively.
In conclusion, Neovascular Glaucoma - Current Concepts in Diagnosis and Treatment is a valuable resource for ophthalmologists seeking to stay abreast of the latest developments in the management of NVG. It offers a comprehensive overview of the condition, discusses advancements in treatment, and emphasizes the importance of collaboration between glaucoma and retina specialists. With its comprehensive coverage and up-to-date information, this book will change the way ophthalmologists manage NVG, ensuring better patient outcomes and improved quality of life.
