These two procedures produced similar surgical success, intraocular-pressure reductions, visual acuity, and number of medications at the last visit. The TLE group showed smaller numbers of late complications and patients who lost more than two lines of visual acuity. Therefore, TLE might be a safer and better way to treat patients with neovascular glaucoma.
