Neovascular Glaucoma


Overview and Facts about Neovascular Glaucoma

Neovascular glaucoma is a condition that affects your eyes’ blood vessels and is frequently associated with diabetes. In neovascular glaucoma, the vessels that supply oxygen-rich blood to your eyes are constricted, thereby cutting off the oxygen necessary to function.

Consequently, your body will signal new blood vessels to grow. This process eventually causes new growth to plug the channel that drains the fluids produced by your eye. Blockage can cause fluids to build up and create pressure on the optic nerve; damage to the nerve will eventually lead to vision loss.

Delayed diagnosis or poor management of glaucoma conditions can lead to permanent blindness. Regular visits to an eye doctor can help detect neovascular glaucoma early on, allowing for immediate and aggressive treatment.
