  • Data are reported as number (percentage) of patients.

  • P=0.08 for the difference in rate of reoperation for glaucoma or complications among patients with neovascular glaucoma secondary to CRVO and PDR.

  • .CRVO, central retinal vein occlusion; PDR, proliferative diabetic retinopathy; PKP, penetrating keratoplasty; PPV, pars plana vitrectomy; SOI, silicone oil injection.
