【 摘 要 】

AIM: To observe the effects of combined anti-VEGF therapy on neovascular glaucoma.

METHODS: A total of 62 patients(68 eyes)with neovascular glaucoma admitted to our hospital from February 2012 to October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Group A were given intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drug(conbercept ophthalmic injection)0.05mL, and complex trabeculectomy was performed 1wk after injection, and total retinal laser photocoagulation was performed 3wk after injection. Cyclocryosurgery was performed in group B. Intraocular pressure(IOP), best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), axial length and postoperative complications of patients in two groups were observed before treatment and 2wk, 1mo, 3mo and 6mo after treatment.

RESULTS: The regression degree of iris neocescularization in group A was significantly better than that in group B. IOP at 2wk, 1mo, 3mo and 6mo after surgery in the two groups showed statistical differences(P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in axial length 6mo after treatment(P<0.05). The total effective rate was 94% in anti-VEGF group(group A)and 78% in cyclocryosurgery group(group B), the difference was not statistically significant(P=0.073).

CONCLUSION: It is safe and effective for the combined treatment of anti-VEGF drug, combined trabeculectomy and total retinal laser photocoagulation in the treatment of neovascularization glaucoma.
