PURPOSE To report clinical outcomes after pars plana endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation of the ciliary processes and pars plana (ECP-plus), a novel treatment for refractory glaucoma. DESIGN Retrospective, noncomparative interventional case series. MATERIALS AND METHODS SETTING multicenter tertiary referral academic and clinical practice. STUDY POPULATION fifty-three eyes of 53 consecutiv...

Purpose: Transscleral contect-cyclophotocoagulation has been used more end more in the treatment of therapy-refractive glaucomas, in recent years. A less pain sensation, reported by the patients, during b-eatment in comparison with cycle-cryocoagulatio was one important reason for increased usuage. The dose-effect correlation for exposure time, energy used and number of the laser impacts variou...

METHODS: Consecutive patients with medically controlled OAG and visually significant cataracts were treated with ECP and cataract extraction (study group) or cataract extraction alone (control group). The groups were matched in age and baseline intraocular pressure (IOP). The main outcome measures were the change in IOP and number of glaucoma medications. Secondary measures included visual acui...

OBJECTIVE To determine the clinical and histologic effects of diode endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) in the phakic equine eye. ANIMALS STUDIED Phase I: 10 equine cadaver eyes. Phase II: four normal adult horses. PROCEDURES Phase I: ECP probe angle of reach (AR) was determined. Multiple ECP energy levels: 0.75, 0.90, 1.05, 1.20, 1.35, 1.50 J, and the resulting visible and histologic ci...

Purpose: To determine the intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering effect and complications of Ahmed valve implantation (AGV) in patients who underwent cyclophotocoagulation (CPC).Methods: Patients AGV after CPC group 1, those 2, repeated 3 were included this retrospective observational study. Changes IOP, number glaucoma eye drops, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) analyzed before 1 week, month, ...

Convenient to perform alongside cataract surgery and relatively safe, minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS) are growing in popularity. Few studies have examined the effect safety of performing combined MIGS. We outcomes combining two distinct MIGS: endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) ab interno trabeculotomy with Kahook Dual Blade (KDB; New World Medical, Rancho Cucamonga, Calif), alo...
