Abstract
Purpose:
To compare the validity of careful slit-lamp biomicroscopic examination of the pupillary margin to screening gonioscopic examination in the early detection and prevention of neovascular glaucoma in diabetic patients.
Methods:
We examined two patients with histories of diabetes mellitus.
Results:
Angle neovascularization developed before iris neovascularization in both patients.
Conclusion:
We believe screening gonioscopic examination is valuable in patients with diabetes.
