Abstract:AIM: To compare the efficacy of two different treatment methods for neovascular glaucoma(NVG).
METHODS: According to the different surgical treatments, divide 32 NVG patients(32 eyes)into two groups: Group A 14 patients(14 eyes)were treated with Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation and panretinal photocoagulation(PRP); Group B 18 patients(18 eyes)with trabeculectomy and amnion transplantation and panretinal photocoagulation(PRP).
RESULTS: The mean intraocular pressure(IOP)in patients discharged after six months: Group A, was 12.15±5.47mmHg, surgical success rate was 85.7%; Group B, was 14.32±4.75mmHg, surgical success rate was 83.3%.
CONCLUSION: The two methods can both reduce IOP on different levels. There is no obvious difference between their surgical success rates. But for NVG patients, it is more economic to be treated with trabeculectomy and amnion transplantation and panretinal photocoagulation(PRP).
