PURPOSE: To report a case of low tension neovascular glaucoma in ocular ischemic syndrome. METHODS: An elderly man presenting with vision loss after an episode of hemiparesis was investigated to look for the cause of vision loss and treated. RESULTS: Fluorescein angiography demonstrated poor uveal perfusion and treatment with panretinal photocoagulation led to rapid closure of the angle. CONCLUSION: This case highlights the typical ophthalmic features of ocular ischemic syndrome and emphasizes the necessity of patient education and prognostication.
