Purpose.
Cyclectomy/trabeculectomy and Ahmed glaucoma valve implant are operations suggested for refractory glaucomas.
In this study, we have evaluated the outcomes that we observed with these two techniques in neovascular glaucoma patients.
Material and Methods.
Thirty-five eyes with neovascular glaucomas were included in this study.
Ahmed Glaucoma valve (group A) was applied to ten eyes, while cyclectomy/trabeculectomy was applied to 25 eyes (group C/T).
Vision, intraocular pressure and complications were evaluated at the end of the first week and after 6 and 12 months.
Results.
Vision preservations were 80% and 92%, and success rates in reducing intraocular pressure were 50% and 72% for Ahmed glaucoma valve and cyclectomy/trabeculectomy groups, respectively.
None of the differences in complication rates was found to be statistically significant.
Conclusions.
In the surgical management of neovascular glaucoma, cyclectomy/trabeculectomy was shown to be an alternative to Ahmed glaucoma valve operation.
