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...
متن کاملControlled Cyclophotocoagulation with diode laser in refractory glaucoma and long term follow up at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Riyadh.
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of controlled contact transscleral diode laser Cyclophotocoagulation (COCO) procedure in reducing the Intraocular Pressure (IOP) among patients with refractory glaucoma. METHODS Thirty two patients (35 eyes) with refractory glaucoma in prospective clinical studies were treated with trans-sclera diode laser in a controlled manner. The energy...

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 کاملTrans-scleral Diode Laser Cyclophotocoagulation in Children with Refractory Glaucoma. Long-term Outcomes
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of diode laser cyclophotocoagulation in paediatric patients with refractory glaucoma and to assess complications associated with this method. The study included 69 eyes in 53 children with uncontrolled refractory glaucoma who underwent diode laser cyclophotocoagulation (cyclodiode) treatment. The mean age of this group was 6.1 years (range, 0.9...
