New treatment protocol improves outcomes in neovascular glaucoma

A treatment protocol for neovascular glaucoma based on angle anatomy helped improve patient outcomes, according to a study at the American Glaucoma Society meeting.
Jessie Wang, MD, said cases of neovascular glaucoma (NVG) have traditionally been treated the same regardless of angle anatomy.
“At the University of Chicago, we implemented a new treatment protocol known as Salvaging the Conventional Outflow Pathway in Neovascular Glaucoma, or SCOPING, protocol,” she said. “This provides a more standardized approach to managing NVG patients based on angle anatomy.”
