Neovascular glaucoma is a special situation caused by blockages in retinal veins or arteries or proliferative diabetic retinopathy. This glaucoma develops slowly due to new blood vessels growing at the pupil margin, extending over the iris and into the drainage angle between the cornea and the iris. Symptoms include chronically red, painful eye, headaches, nausea and sensitivity to light.
