AIM: To investigate the treatment choice of different stages for neovascular glaucoma(NVG).

METHODS: The case information of 123 eyes of 116 NVG patients were analyzed and summarized retrospectively, according to different stages of NVG.

RESULTS: At the first stage, of the 17 eyes performed panretinal photocoagulation, the new vessels of 16 eyes were disappeared. At the second stage of 57 eyes, the new vessels of 17 eyes disappeared after panretinal photocoagulation. Of 26 eyes performed panretinal photocoagulation and trabeculectomy, the IOP of 23 eyes were fully controlled. Of 9 eyes performed vitrectomy and panretinal photocoagulation and trabeculectomy, the IOP of 8 eyes were fully controlled. All 5 eyes performed glaucoma drainage implant placement appeared fully controlled. At the third stage of 49 eyes, of 3 eyes performed glaucoma drainage implant placement, the IOP of 2 eyes were controlled. Of 38 eyes performed pan-peripheral retinal cryotheraphy and cyclocryotherapy and trabeculectomy, the IOP of 29 eyes were controlled.
