The causes of neovascular glaucoma included:diabetic retinopathy(25 eyes),and retinal vein occlusion(20 eyes).All patients received preoperative IVR combined with postoperative PRP. The mean best-corrected visual acuities(BCVA)were converted to the logarithms of the minimum angle of resolution(log MAR)for the statisitical analyses.Intraocular pressure(IOP),the log MAR BCVA and surgical complications were evaluated before and after surgery.The follow-up period was 12 mo.RESULTS:A total of 39 cases showed complete regression of iris neovascularization at 7d after injection,and 6 cases showed a small amount of residual iris neovascularization. The success rates were 81.8% and 82.6% at 12 mo after trabeculectomy and AGV implantation,respectively. In the trabeculectomy group,the log MAR BCVA improved at the last follow-up in 14 eyes,remained stable in 6 eyes and decreased in 2 eyes. In 4 cases,slight hyphemas developed after trabeculectomy. A shallow anterior chamber developed in 2 cases and 2 vitreous hemorrhages. In the AGV group,the log MAR BCVA improved in 14 eyes,remained stable in 5 eyes and decreased in 4 eyes. Slight hyphemas developed in 3 cases,and a shallow anterior chamber in 3 cases. The mean postoperative IOP was significantly lower in both groups after surgery(F=545.468,P〈0.05),and the mean postoperative log MAR BCVA was also significantly improved(F=10.964,P〈0.05)with no significant difference between two groups.CONCLUSION:It is safe and effective to treat NVG with this combined procedure,and we found similar results after IVR+AGV implantation+PRP and IVR+trabeculectomy+PRP in eyes with NVG.展开更多

METHODS: Fifty-nine enrolled patients were categorized into 2 groups: single dose IVC(0.5 mg/0.05 m L) 1 wk before PRP(Plus group) or PRP only(PRP group). Six months later, we measured the best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), central macula thickness(CMT) by optical coherence tomography and counted the number of HRDs in different retina layers. RESULTS: The average CMT significantly decreased in Plus group but increased in PRP group. The average BCVA in the Plus group was also significantly better than that in the PRP group. Total HRDs decreased in the Plus group but increased in PRP group significantly. IVC pre-treatment has beneficial effects on reducing HRDs forming in the inner retina layer while the PRP alone increased the HRDs in the outer retina layer. CONCLUSION: IVC is a promising adjunctive treatment to PRP in the treatment of PDR. Single dose IVC one week before PRP is suggested to improve retina blood-retina barrier, decrease lipid exudate and inhibit HRDs development in PDR.展开更多

Conbercept was intravitreally administered to patients in the pulse group 1 wk before treatment with PRP and followed up for 1, 3, and 6 mo. The best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA, log MAR), center foveal thickness(CFT), visual acuity(VA) improvement, and adverse reactions were compared between groups.RESULTS: In the PRP group, the BCVA reduced at 1 and 3 mo before improving at 6 mo. In the pulse group, baseline BCVA decreased continuously at 1 mo, increased at 3 and 6 mo. BCVA in the pulse group was better than that in the PRP group at 1, 3, and 6 mo. There was an increase in CFT in the PRP group during follow-up compared with baseline. In the pulse group, CFT was increased at 1 mo relative to baseline, steadily decreased to the baseline level at 3 and 6 mo. There was a more significant reduction in CFT in the pulse group during follow-up compared with the PRP group. The effective rates of VA in the PRP and the pulse groups were 81.48% and 100%, respectively. CONCLUSION: As PRP pretreatment, a single dose of IVC administration has beneficial effects for preventing PRPinduced foveal thickening and increasing VA in patients with SNPDR without ME.展开更多
