Endoscopic laser photocoagulation was used to treat neovascular glaucoma in eight eyes of seven patients. New vessels of the iris and anterior chamber disappeared or stabilized after photocoagulation in seven eyes (88%). Vision improved in four eyes (50%). The endoscopy was excellent for observing the peripheral retina and ciliary process tissues. The endoscopic laser was suitable for wider photocoagulation of ischemic retina against opacity of the anterior eye.
