Use of Intravitreal Aflibercept Injection for Neovascular Glaucoma

This 52 week study will assess the use of intravitreal aflibercept injections in patients with neovascular glaucoma (NVG) compared to standard of care panretinal photocoagulation. The investigators hypothesize that the neovascularization of the iris and angle present in neovascular glaucoma will resolve more quickly in eye treated with intravitreal aflibercept injection alone and result in increased comfort and preservation of visual field as compared to current standard of care utilizing pan-retinal photocoagulation. The advantages to intravitreal aflibercept injection use could include resolution of NVI/NVA (neovascularization of the iris/neovascularization of the angle) leading to quicker pain relief and quicker lowering of IOP (intraocular pressure).
