The paper realized the retrospective evaluation of all cases of neovascular glaucoma hospitalized in Clinic of Ophthalmology of Craiova in the last 15 years. Neovascular secondary glaucoma represents 3,9% of all glaucomas. The most important etiologic factors were the central venous occlusion, diabetic retinopathy, carotid occlusion, intraocular tumors, chronic uveitis, Fuchs heterochromy. Neovascular secondary glaucoma is characterized by important hypoxic tissues destructions, presented of all levels that lead to neovessels formation with irreversible anatomic and functional losing of ocular globe. The identification of neovascular glaucoma causes and their treatment is important to prevent that diseases.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the difference in the incidence of the hypertensive phase (HP) between Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) patients who received intracameral air injection and those who did not.
