Transscleral diode laser cycloablation in patients with good vision

Abstract

Most of these eyes with difficult to manage glaucoma retained their good VA over long-term follow-up after undergoing diode laser cyclophotocoagulation. The proportion losing two Snellen lines is in line with that reported after trabeculectomy or tube surgery. These results suggest a possible role for the use of transscleral cyclodiode in selected eyes with significant visual potential. Further controlled prospective studies are required to better define this role.
