A new treatment, goniophotocoagulation, for neovascularization of the anterior chamber angle has been applied with the argon laser to 21 eyes of 20 patients. Three of the eyes had neovascularization related to central retinal vein occlusion. In the other 18 eyes the neovascularization was related to diabetic retinopathy. A specific protocol has been followed since January 1973. The results so far indicate that closure of the angle and progression of the usual chain of pathologic events in neovascular glaucoma were prevented in 10 (77%) of the 13 eyes having an average follow-up of 22 months. We believe that goniophotocoagulation of the angle deserves more extensive, judicious, and carefully monitored clinical use. Our results suggest that this new technique is safe and reasonably effective in preventing progressive neovascularization of the angle, synechial closure, and severe nonvascular glaucoma.
一种用于前房角新生血管化的新治疗方法——房角光凝术，已使用氩激光应用于20例患者的21只眼睛。其中3只眼睛的新生血管化与视网膜中央静脉阻塞有关。在另外18只眼睛中，新生血管化与糖尿病性视网膜病变有关。自1973年1月起遵循了特定方案。目前的结果表明，在平均随访22个月的13只眼睛中，有10只（77%）的房角关闭以及新生血管性青光眼通常的一系列病理事件进展得到了预防。我们认为房角光凝术值得更广泛、审慎且仔细监测的临床应用。我们的结果表明，这项新技术在预防房角渐进性新生血管化、虹膜粘连闭合以及严重的非血管性青光眼方面是安全且相当有效的。
