Purse-String Suture in Neovascular Glaucoma

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the purse-string suture in cases with neovascular glaucoma. Methods: This retrospective review comprised of 6 eyes of 6 patients who had had attacks of IOP spike (42 to 50 mmHg) during the course of neovascular glaucoma that did not respond to medical and laser treatment. Their visual acuities were F.C. 30CM TO 40/200. They had a closing angles and neovascularization of the angles was found. They have undergone Purse-String Sutures using PC-7 needles.
