ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss clinical effects and security of using Ahmed valve implantation surgery to cure neovascular glaucoma.Methods The clinical data of 78 patients with neovascular glaucoma in the Department of Ophthalmology from May 2015 to May 2017 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. The patients were randomly divided into the research group and the control group. Both groups were treated with Ahmed valve implantation surgery. Patients in the research group were treated with the professional nursing intervention of neovascular glaucoma. The intraocular pressure (IOP) and clinical effects of both groups before and after treatment were compared.Results The achievement ratio of operation in the research group and the control group was 87.5% and 84.2%, respectively. There was no statistical difference (P＞0.05) . The post－operation follow－up showed that average IOP in both groups was obviously lower than that in pre－operation (P＜0.01) . But average post－operative IOP in both groups had no statistical difference (P＞0.05) . There were three patients with complications in the research group, showing 10.0% of complication ratio. There were 10 patients with complications in the control group, showing 26.3% of complication ratio, which was the statistically different (P＜0.05) . Conclusions The curative effects of using Ahmed valve implantation surgery to cure neovascular glaucoma should be affirmed. The operation shows good short－term effects and reduction of complications but more long－term effects. By coordinating with nursing interference, long－term complications can be reduced. Therefore, it is an effective method to cure glaucoma.
