We included 39 eyes from 39 patients (12 eyes from 12 patients with POAG, 12 eyes from 12 patients with NVG secondary to PDR, and 15 eyes from 15 patients with NVG secondary to CRVO). One-way ANOVA; χ2 test. NVG: neovascular glaucoma; POAG: primary open-angle glaucoma; PDR: proliferative diabetic retinopathy; CRVO: central retinal vein occlusion; BCVA: best-corrected visual acuity; IOP: intraocular pressure.
