Transescleral cyclophotocoagulation treatment for painful eye with glaucoma neovascular

Transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation for the treatment of refractory glaucoma secondary to inflammatory eye diseases.

BACKGROUND Inflammatory glaucoma is still a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma and surgical intervention is always associated with a high risk of failure or reactivation of the inflammatory disease. In this study we prospectively examined the value of transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation (TDLC) for the treatment of refractory inflammatory glaucoma. METHODS 22 eyes of 20 consecutive ...

Surgical treatment of neovascular glaucoma with Ex-PRESS glaucoma shunt

RATIONALE Neovascular glaucoma (NVG) is one of the most aggressive types of glaucoma, and its abnormal fibrovascular tissue growth on the iris and trabecular meshwork may create difficulties to control the intraocular pressure (IOP) and perform the operation such as trabeculectomy. PATIENT CONCERNS Ex-PRESS glaucoma shunt has been introduced to serve as one alternative operation for glaucoma,...

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 ...
