Abstract
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. We examined two patients with histories of diabetes mellitus. Angle neovascularization developed before iris neovascularization in both patients. We believe screening gonioscopic examination is valuable in patients with diabetes.
