One-year outcome of low dose laser cyclophotocoagulation for capsular tension ring-induced malignant glaucoma

Long-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...

Red Laser Cyclophotocoagulation for Treatment of Therapy-resistant Glaucoma

Capsular tension ring in damaged zonules.

Capsular tension ring (CTR) is endocapsular support device important during cataract surgery in eyes with weak zonular apparatus. It was presented our experience, advantages and limitations of CTR in phacoemulsification cataract surgery with damaged zonules. Phacoemulsification surgery was performed by clear corneal technique using topical anesthesia. Capsular ring was implanted to stabilize th...

Long-term outcome of trans-scleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation in refractory glaucoma.

BACKGROUND Long-term outcome and complications of diode laser cyclophotocoagulation (DCPC) may be important, since eyes, once treated with DCPC, are less likely to be subjected to other types of interventions in the further follow-up. METHODS Retrospective review of 131 eyes of 127 patients treated from 2000 through 2004. Success was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) at last visit 6-21 mm...

Treatment of malignant glaucoma with contact transscleral cyclophotocoagulation.

Fivecasesofpseudophakicmalignant glaucoma were successfully treated with a single session of contact transscleralcyclophotocoagulation(CTCP) withdiodelaser(twenty4-Jspotsover 360°,1.5mmposterior to the limbus) after failureofNd:YAGlaserhyaloidotomy and vitreolysis. All patients except for case 2 had a preoperative diagnosis of chronic angle-closure glaucoma. At the end of the followup, all the ...
