Abstract:AIM: To investigate the clinical efficacy of intravitreal injection of Conbercept combined with extra-panretinal photocoagulation for neovascular glaucoma(NVG).
METHODS: Sixteen eyes of 16 NVG patients in our hospital were treated with intravitreal injection of conbercept 1.0mg, combined with extra-panretinal photocoagulation. Changes of visual acuity, intraocular pressure(IOP), iris neovascular vessels and complications were observed before and after operation.
RESULTS: At the final follow-up, iris neovascular vessels disappeared in all patients. There was statistically significant difference on IOP between before and after operation(P<0.05). The visual acuity was improved in 2 eyes, was stable in 12 eyes and was decreased in 2 eyes. There was no statistically significant difference on visual acuity between before and after operation(P>0.05). There were no entophthalmia, retinal detachment and other serious complications after our operation.
CONCLUSION: Intravitreal injection of conbercept combined with extra-panretinal photocoagulation is effective for neovascular glaucoma.
