Outcomes of vitrectomy, complete pan-retinal photocoagulation, and endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation surgery after anti-VEGF treatment in neovascular glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To establish a comprehensive treatment strategy and evaluate the efficacy of combination of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injection, pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), endoscopic pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP), and endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) surgery for neovascular glaucoma (NVG) patients.

Methods

This retrospective study included 30 patients (30 eyes) who were suffering from NVG and treated with PPV & PRP & ECP (ECP group, 16 eyes), or Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation (Ahmed group, 14 eyes). The intraocular pressure (IOP), number of postoperative anti-glaucoma medications, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), successful rate of surgery, and postoperative complications were recorded and statistically analyzed at the time points of preopera
