New, yet published findings after the combination of transscleral panretinal cryocoagulation and cyclocryocoagulation are presented. The author describes the difference in regression of small and large neovascularisations of the iris after the cryosurgery; the difference in blood flow in these vessels is shown angiographically. The discordance in the biomicroscopical findings of neovascularisations of the iris and angiographical picture in connection with high intraocular pressure in neovascular glaucoma is shown. The iridoplegia was found only in patients after the transscleral panretinal cryocoagulation, not in patients after simple cyclocryocoagulation. The mortality rate in neovascular glaucoma is 55% in 3 years, but mostly in 2 years.
