Abstract
The prognostic factors for surgical failure of trabeculectomy with MMC for NVG were younger age and previous vitrectomy in all NVG patients, and having a fellow eye with NVG in patients with disease caused by diabetic retinopathy. Persistent proliferative membrane and/or RD after vitrectomy might contribute to poorer outcomes of trabeculectomy.
