The outcome of ciliary body ablation with diode laser contact transscleral cyclophotocoagulation in 6 months follow-up.

The aim of the study is to analyse postoperative results continuous wave, transscleral cyclophotocoagulations (CW-TSCPC) in 6 months follow-up for patients with refractory glaucoma.
 Material and methods: We retrospectively reviewed 58 records who underwent cyclophotocoagulation because glaucoma at Department Ophthalmology, Poznan University Medical Sciences, Poland, between 2016 2022. All ophthalmological examination baseline during visits including best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure measurement (IOP), slit-lamp examination, field optical coherence tomography retinal nerve fiber layer (OCT RNFL). Follow-up time was months.
 Results: analyzed a group (28 women 30 men, average age 62). Majority (41 eyes, 70.69%) had secondary open angle glaucoma. There were no serious complications CW-TSCPC procedure. achieved IOP normalization (IOP below 22 mmHg) 81.03% eyes 1 month follow-up, 81.08% after 2 months, 72.41% months. Mean reduction 53.47%, 47.71%, 47.65% from 1, 2, respectively. number medications taken by lowered 74.14%, 70.27% 68.97% 17 (29.31%) required additional surgical interventions within Conclusions: an effective safe It allows lowering drugs administrated various types follow-up. procedure technically easy well-controlled complications.
