Micropulse transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation in the treatment of refractory glaucoma.
BACKGROUND Transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation (TSCPC) is an established method of treatment for refractory glaucoma, but is associated with significant complications. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a new form of TSCPC using micropulse diode laser and trans-pars plana treatment with a novel contact probe. METHODS Prospective interventional case series of 40 eyes of...
متن کاملTransscleral Micropulse Diode Laser for Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy
Micropulse Diode Laser Photocoagulation (MD) is designed to target The Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) melanocytes while avoiding photoreceptors damage. The term “subthreshold” refers to photocoagulation that does not produce visible intraretinal damage or visible scarring either during or after treatment. It is well known that burns cannot be detected by clinical examination or by Intravenous...
متن کاملMicropulse versus continuous wave transscleral diode cyclophotocoagulation in refractory glaucoma: a randomized exploratory study.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of micropulse and continuous wave diode transscleral cyclophotocoagulation in refractory glaucoma. DESIGN Randomized, comparative, exploratory study in a tertiary hospital setting. PARTICIPANTS Patients with refractory, end-stage glaucoma. METHODS Forty-eight patients were randomized to either treatment. The intraocul...
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 کاملA comparison of neodymium: yttrium aluminum garnet and diode laser transscleral cyclophotocoagulation and cyclocryotherapy.
The cyclodestructive effects of cyclocryotherapy and of the neodymium:yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) and diode laser transscleral cyclophotocoagulation were investigated in phakic and pseudophakic cadaver eyes using a modified Miyake posterior-view technique and light microscopy. Cyclocryotherapy to -80 degrees C was applied with a 2.5-mm diameter tip, 1 and 2 mm from the limbus. Freezing at ...
