title: New clinical classification for iris neovascularization.
abstract: A new classification scheme for neovascularization of the iris (NVI) is presented. This system designates the location of the new vessels by a letter and the number of quadrants involved by a numeral. The presence of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is denoted by a "+" sign. It was found to be a reliable method in the evaluation of the clinical course and results of treatment in patients with NVI.
