The use of bevacizumab for the treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy, neovascular glaucoma, neovascular age related macular degeneration, and cystoid macular edema has been extensively reported upon. From the published case reports available, bevacizumab may be a useful adjunct to the trabeculectomy procedure.
