Title | Micropulse G6 transscleral cyclophotocoagulation in refractory glaucoma patients |
Purpose | To evaluate the IOP lowering results of micropulse cyclophotocoagulation in refrectory glaucoma. |
Methods | 40 eyes with refractory glaucoma were treated. The 2 specialists used the predefined protocol and treated the superior and inferior 180°, using viscoelastic on the surface. The IOP was measured preoperatively, D1, W1, M1 and M. |
Results | The follow-up was 3 months. 75% of our patients showed 25% IOP reduction with or without medication. 5% of the patients had a second treatment. 20% of the patients showed no significant difference in IOP. |
Conclusion | Micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation is a fast and easy treatment method to treat temporary the refractory glaucoma. |
