AIM: To investigate the effect of modified Ahmed drainage valve implantation combined conbercept in the treatment of neovascular glaucoma.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.RESULTS: There was no significantly difference in the preoperative data between the two groups and both of them can decrease intraocular pressure(PPZ=2.74,PCONCLUSION: 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.
