title: [Neovascular glaucoma following cataract surgery--a case report].
abstract: A 75-year-old man suffered from right neovascular glaucoma following ipsilateral cataract surgery. Cerebral angiogram showed occlusion of the right internal carotid artery and the steal phenomenon of right ophthalmic artery. Chronic ocular ischemia caused by carotid occlusion and ophthalmic artery steal phenomenon is one of the decisive risk factors for secondary glaucoma after cataract surgery.
