AIM: To observe clinical features of neovascular glaucoma(NVG)treated with multi-wavelength laser photocoagulation(PRP). METHODS: Totally 21 patients(25 eyes)with NVG were performed actively anti-glaucoma treatment, at the same time, they were also performed multi-wavelength laser photocoagulation. Photocoagulation characteristics and complications were observed.RESULTS: The PRP was completed successfully on alleyes. Red photocoagulation was used more offen. Three cases(5 eyes)had obvious pain, 2 cases(3 eyes)had iris inflammation reaction, 4 cases(4 eyes)had anterior chamber and vitreous hemorrhage. Choroidal retinal detachment was not found. IOP was decreased at different degree, eye pain and headache symptoms were relieved. CONCLUSION: Multi-wavelength laser is conducive to the successful completion of pan retinal photocoagulation in neovascular glaucoma. It is safe and effective.
