The monograph “Neovascular Glaucoma”, prepared by researchers of the V.P. Filatov Institute of Eye Diseases and Tissue Therapy of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine — Candidate of Medical Sciences Olha Volodymyrivna Huzun, Doctor of Medical Sciences Oleh Serhiiovych Zadorozhnyi, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor Nataliia Valeriivna Konovalova, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor Andrii Rostyslavovych Korol, and edited by Corresponding Member of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor Nataliia Volodymyrivna Pasiechnikova — is a fundamental scientific publication devoted to current problems of modern ophthalmology.

The relevance of the work is determined by the high medical and social significance of secondary neovascular glaucoma as one of the most severe complications of ischemic retinal diseases, which remains among the leading causes of irreversible vision loss. The complexity of its pathogenesis, variability of clinical course, and difficulty of treatment necessitate a systematic synthesis of current scientific data and clinical experience, which is accomplished in this monograph.

The 160-page publication consistently presents modern concepts of the anatomical and functional characteristics of the anterior segment of the eye, summarizes data on the epidemiology, classification, etiology, and pathogenesis of neovascular glaucoma, and provides a detailed overview of current methods of clinical and instrumental diagnostics, as well as modern approaches to treatment considering the clinical heterogeneity of the disease. Special attention is given to rare forms of pathology, accompanied by original illustrative materials.

The scientific novelty of the work lies in the implementation of innovative approaches to predicting treatment outcomes using systemic inflammatory indices (AISI, SII, SIRI), the use of advanced imaging methods of the anterior segment of the eye, and the optimization of parameters of transscleral laser interventions to improve their efficacy and safety. An important component of the monograph is the results of original experimental and clinical studies conducted by the authors, which significantly strengthen the evidence base and practical relevance of the publication.

The monograph is of considerable scientific and practical interest for ophthalmologists, general practitioners, researchers, medical interns, and medical students, and represents a valuable contribution to the development of modern ophthalmology and clinical medicine.
