Effect of modified Ahmed drainage valve implantation combined with Conbercept in the treatment of neovascular glaucoma / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

ABSTRACT

@#AIM: To investigate the effect of modified Ahmed drainage valve implantation combined conbercept in the treatment of neovascular glaucoma.<p>METHODS: Neovascular glaucoma patients(59 cases, 60 eyes)were separated into experiment group(20 cases, 21 eyes)and control group(39 cases, 39 eyes)in our hospital from 2015 to 2018. Patients in the experiment group received Ahmed drainage valve implantation and intravitreal conbercept injection while patients in the control group were treated with ciliarybody photocoagulation. The visual acuity, intraocular pressure and iris neovessels were observed in 3mo after operation.<p>RESULTS: There was no significantly difference in the preoperative data between the two groups and both of them can decrease intraocular pressure(<i>P</i><0.05). The intraocular pressure of experiment group was significantly lower than that of control group in 1wk, 1mo and 3mo after treatment(all <i>P</i><0.05). The iris neovessels disappeared in experiment group, which was significantly different from that in control group(<i>Z</i>=2.74,<i>P</i><0.05). <p>CONCLUSION: Modified Ahmed drainage valve implantation combined with intravitreal conbercept injection can effectively decrease the intraocular pressure for a long time and make the iris neovessels vanish.
