Efficiency of surgical treatment of neovascular glaucoma: a retrospective analysis

Purpose : to compare the results of neovascular glaucoma (NVG) surgery patients treated for underlying eye disease with antiVEGF therapy and laser coagulation (LC) retina who did not receive treatment. Materials methods. A retrospective analysis case histories outpatient charts 70 (70 eyes) NVG, operated in a surgical hospital, involved two groups patients: group 1 — 33 eyes anti-VEGF and/or LC; these, 13 (39 %) received panretinal LC, 15 (45 an drug intravitreally, 5 (16 both LC); 2 37 disease. In 1, NVG was caused by diabetic retinopathy (DR), which accounted 19 (57.6 %), post-thrombotic (PR) 14 (42.3 %). IOP data at admission 38.00 ± 6.82 mm Hg. 2, proportion DR 32 % (12 eyes), those PR 41 (15 eyes).
