Descriptive Information

Brief Title ^ICMJE

Intravitreal Bevacizumab for Neovascular Glaucoma

Official Title ^ICMJE

Intravitreal Bevacizumab for Neovascular Glaucoma; a Randomized Placebo Controlled Clinical Trial

Brief Summary

Several studies have confirmed high levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in eyes with neovascular glaucoma (NVG). The role of VEGF inhibitors in regression of other neovascular disorders such as wet-type age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema has been described. We aim to evaluate the effect of three intravitreal injections of bevacizumab (Avastin) 2.5 mg versus a sham procedure for treatment of NVG. Outcome measures include intraocular pressure and extent of iris neovascularization. Both study arms will receive conventional treatment for NVG.
