    Abstract

    The use of antivascular endothelial growth factors such as bevacizumab and ranibizumab has brought about a revolution in management protocols of various ophthalmic disorders. A lot has been written about these agents, still lacunae exist in our understanding due to paucity of randomized control trials with large number of patients. This brief review attempts to throw light on the clinical applications of these molecules for glaucoma.
