Clinical manifestation with unilateral glaucoma, corectopia, ectropion uvea, peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS) and characterized by pigmented nodules on the iris.
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Cyclocryotherapy combined with retrobulbar injection of dehydrated alcohol in treating late neovascular glaucoma patients,that released their distress.
Condensation to partial ciliary body and the whole retina plus second-stage trabeculectomy is one of so effective methods in the treatment of neoformative vascular glaucoma.
Methods Cyclocryotherapy was performed on the patients with late-stage glaucoma,whose intraocular pressure (IOP) could not be controlled by medicine and was unsuitable for filtering operation.
The authors suggest that goniotomy may benefit selected patients with idiopathic uveitic glaucoma or that associated with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, sarcoidosis, or cataract surgery.
The researchers believe this technology could one day aid people with a wide range of visual impairments from glaucoma and diabetes to those who lost their vision or were born blind.
