Abstract

PURPOSE. To present the features of the clinical course and evaluate the effectiveness of laser and surgical treatment of patients with neovascular glaucoma following central retinal vein thrombosis.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. Two patients with neovascular glaucoma secondary to central retinal vein thrombosis were examined. Surgical interventions were performed: patient M. — micropulse cyclophotocoagulation (twice), intravitreal administration of an angiogenesis inhibitor (5 injections), retinal laser coagulation (two-stage); patient E. — micropulse cyclophotocoagulation, intravitreal administration of an angiogenesis inhibitor (2 injections), implantation of the Ahmed valve.

RESULTS. The treatment resulted in compensation of intraocular pressure (IOP), improvement of visual functions, reduction of neovascularization in the structures of the anterior eye segment.

CONCLUSION. Micropulse cyclophotocoagulation can be used in the complex treatment of neovascular glaucoma at any stage in order to reduce IOP and decrease the neovascularization in the iris and anterior chamber angle structures in the postoperative period.
