Abstract
- Neovascular glaucoma is considered to be one of the most difficult forms of glaucoma to control. In neovascular glaucoma fibrovascular tissue grows over the surface of the iris and trabecular meshwork. Many modified filtering surgery with artificial drainage devices have been tried in attempts to maintain openings for aqueous humor to leave the eye. Modified trabeculectomy was performed with inexpensive easily available simple silicone tube in 8 eyes with neovascular glaucma. Of the 8 eyes, 6 had postopeoative intraocular pressures lower rhan 25mmHg through a mean follow-up period of 6 months.
