AIM:To investigate the operation mode selection and curative effect on the mid-term and late period of neovascular glaucoma(NVG)in primary hospitals.

METHODS: Totally 20 patients(21 eyes)of mid-term and later NVG were included,7 patients(7 eyes)were treated with cyclocryotherapy combined with trabeculectomy; 11 patients(12 eyes)were treated with panretinal cryotherapy combined with cyclocryotherapy; 2 patients(2 eyes)were treated with cyclocryotherapy combined with vortex veins near sclera lamellar resection.

RESULTS: All the patients pain symptoms were improved significantly, 19 eyes with intraocular pressure controlled under 24mmHg 3 months postoperatively, 2 eyes with intraocular pressure instability: the highest reached 28mmHg. Visual acuity was improved in 5 eyes, no change in 14 eyes, 2 eyeballs atrophy. Iris neovascularization disappeared completely in 21 eyes.

CONCLUSION: In case of the absence of good medical condition in primary hospitals or poor economic condition, the simple operation methods can also alleviate the patient's suffering, save the patient's eyeball and useful vision, and it is easy to be accepted by patients too.
