    The purpose of this review is to consider neovascular and phacogenic types of secondary glaucoma that ophthalmologists have to deal with in their daily clinical practice for effective identification of the risk group, for the purpose of prevention, slowing down progression, as well as maintaining visual functions and quality of life of the patient. The review was written by using the domestic RSCI database and the international PubMed database, the search keywords were «secondary glaucoma», «neovascular glaucoma», «phacogenic glaucoma», «phacotopic glaucoma», «phacomorphic glaucoma», «phacotoxic glaucoma», «phacolytic glaucoma». An analysis of 44 literature sources was performed. The search depth was 23 years (2001–2024). The article highlights the issues of classification of secondary phacogenic and neovascular glaucoma. It was revealed that practicing opthalmologists more often use the clinical classification of secondary glaucomas proposed by A.P. Nesterov. Emphasis is placed on the issues of pathogenesis, clinical presentation and differential diagnostic features of neovascular and phacogenic glaucoma, which are distinguished by a variety of etiopathogenetic mechanisms of development and clinical manifestations.
