Neovascular Glaucoma With Persistent Epithelial Defect: Pathophysiology and Surgical Solutions
We report a unique case of a 55-year-old male diabetic patient who presented with uncontrolled neovascular glaucoma and drug-related surface toxicity, causing persistent epithelial defect in both eyes, and the distinctive management that followed. The successful management of the first eye with amniotic membrane grafting following trabeculectomy prompted a similar approach in the other eye with co-management of both conditions. This case highlights the importance of a tailored, comprehensive approach to such complicated cases.
