Diode laser transscleral cyclophotocoagulation followed by phacotrabeculectomy on medically unresponsive acute primary angle closure eyes: the long-term result
BACKGROUND To explore the intraocular pressure-lowering effect and complications of diode laser transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (DLTSC) followed by phacotrabeculectomy on medically unresponsive acute primary angle closure eyes. METHODS Nine eyes of nine medically unresponsive acute primary angle closure patients were enrolled. All the patients underwent cyclophotocoagulation followed by ph...
متن کاملLong-Term Outcome of Transscleral Diode Laser Cyclophotocoagulation for Refractory Glaucoma
Objective: To study success rate and long term efficacy and complications of the transscleral diode laser Cyclophotocoagulation in refractory glaucoma. Patients and Methods: In a noncomparative interventional case series, eyes of 9 patients with glaucoma resistant to conventional medical and surgical therapies were treated with transscleral diode laser Cyclophotocoagulation from 2004 to 2007. C...
متن کاملDiode Laser Cyclophotocoagulation
Cyclodestructive procedures are generally used for refractory glaucomas. Previously it has been carried out by various methods like surgical excision of ciliary body,1 cyclodiathermy,2,3 cycloirradiation,4 cycloelectrolysis,5 cyclocryotherapy,6-9 ultrasound,10 microwave cyclodestruction,11 and currently by cyclophotocoagulation. Laser cyclophotocoagulation has now become the principal method of...
متن کاملThe Biometric Values of Affected and Fellow Eyes in Patients with Acute Attack of Primary Angle Closure
Background: It has been estimated that 67 million people worldwide are affected with a primary glaucoma and that one-third have primary angle closure glaucoma. We aimed to determine the biometric differences between the eyes of patients with acute attack of primary angle closure and their non-involved fellow eyes. Methods: Twenty eight patients with acute attack of primary angle closure were re...
متن کاملTreatment parameters for the efficacy of transscleral cyclophotocoagulation in rabbits using a diode laser.
PURPOSE To determine parameters for the efficacy of transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCPC) using a diode laser. METHODS We performed TSCPC on 74 pigmented rabbits with different exposure powers and varying number of applications, followed by clinical observation and histological examination up to 24 weeks. RESULTS Based on observation of the clinical course, the most favorable parameter...
