| Popis: | Purpose: To report the effectiveness of combined surgery for neovascular glaucoma. Methods: Six eyes of six consecutive patients with neovascular glaucoma underwent the com- bined surgery: trabeculectomy with Mitomycin C, Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV), endolaserpan- retinal photocoagulation, intravitreal and intracameral injection of bevacizumab. Results: The intraocular pressure returned to normal range soon after operation. The neovas- cularization of iris regressed in a few days. Mild hyphema developed in three patients. All six patients had improved or stable visual acuity, and achieved normal intraocular pressure without antiglaucoma medications three months after operation. Conclusions: This combined surgery may break the vicious cycle of neovascularglaucoma and preserve useful vision in these patients. |
