Abstract:: Introduction: neovascular glaucoma (NVG) accounts for approximately 3.9% of all glaucoma cases. With a prevalence of 0.01-0.12% in Europe, it is a rare but potentially blinding disease. As a secondary glaucoma, certain diseases precede the pathology, with the most common being diabetic retinopathy, central retinal vein occlusion, and ocular ischemic syndrome. In theory, the left and right eye should be affected at approximately equal rates. However, studies show an asymmetry in cerebrovascular events, which may potentially influence diseases of the ocular vessels. The aim of this study is to investigate a potential side difference in the occurrence of this secondary form of glaucoma.
