To observe the efficacy of intravitreal injection of conbercept (IVC) combined with panretinal laser photocoagulation (PRP) in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy (DR) combined with stage I and II neovascular glaucoma (NVG).Methods A clinical case-control study. From October 2013 to March 2019, 50 eyes (50 patients) with DR and stage Ⅰ to Ⅱ NVG diagnosed in the Department of Ophthalmology, Peoples's Hospital of Xianghe were were included in the study. There were 27 eyes (27 males) and 23 eyes (23 females); all patients were monocular with the average age of 53.5±7.13 years old. Stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ NVG were 11 and 39 eyes, respectively. All patients underwent BCVA, intraocular pressure, and fundus angiography. The BCVA examination adopted the international standard visual acuity chart, which was converted to logMAR BCVA visual acuity in statistics. The patients were divided into the Conbercept+laser therapy (combination therapy) group and the laser therapy group by random number table, with 25 eyes. The age of the two groups of patients (t=0.058), gender composition ratio (χ2=0.081), logMAR BCVA (t=0.294), intraocular pressure (t=-0.070), the number of eyes with different grades of angle and iris neovascularization(χ2=1.683, 0.854)were compared, the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The changes of BCVA, intraocular pressure, iris neovascularization, and angular neovascularization were compared and observed between the two groups one week after the completion of PRP treatment, 1, 3, 6, and 9 months. Independent sample t test was used for continuous variables. Between the combination treatment group and the laser treatment group, at different time points within the two groups and the interaction of the two factors, a single-factor repeated analysis of variance was used.Results Compared with the results before treatment, the combined treatment group and laser treatment group had statistically significant differences in the number of angle and iris neovascularization, intraocular pressure and logMAR BCVA at different times after treatment in the combined treatment group and laser treatment group (F=124.211, 65.153, 69.249, 26.848; P<0.001). After treatment, the combined treatment group was better than the laser treatment group in terms of the regression of eye angle and iris neovascularization, intraocular pressure and logMAR BCVA, and the difference was statistically significant (F=47.543, 25.051, 12.265, 9.994; P=0.001, 0.001, 0.001, 0.003). At different times after treatment, compared with the laser treatment group, the number of neovascularization in the iris and angle of the eye in the combined treatment group was less, the intraocular pressure was significantly decreased, and the BCVA was increased. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion The efficacy of Kang IVC combined with PRP in the treatment of DR with stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ NVG is better than that of PRP alone.
