Purpose: There is the case that only one eye develops in neovascular glaucoma complicated with proliferative diabetic retinopathy（PDR）that the photocoagulation and vitreous surgery are performed in the same way to the both eyes .To evaluate the carotid artery disease and the association with neovascular glaucoma onset eyes.

Methods: 13 cases that only one eye developed neovascular glaucoma complicated with PDR that was treated in the same way to the both eyes .The average age was 52.0+-12.8 years old with ten male, three female. We were based on carotid artery endosporium media complex hyperplasia degree (IMT) (normal 1.1mm or less) and bifurcation and sorted a carotid artery 4 every 15mm and, using cervical ultrasonic diagnostic equipment XG( Toshiba), measured the summation with both right and left carotid arteries of IMT 1.1mm in each division or more for plaque score (PS).

Results ＆ Conclusions: There was no significant difference in a carotid disease of the neovascular glaucoma onset eyes side, but IMT of onset eyes and non-onset eyes was 2.1 ± 0.8,1.7 +-0.6, and, in the PS, 4.5+-1.7mm, 3.9+-1.9 and a vascular disorder risk tended to be high.

It was suggested that he possibility of the prognosis guess by the carotid artery disease study for onset eye of neovascular glaucoma complicated with PDR
