Cyclodestructive procedures for refractory glaucoma

Abstract

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: To assess the relative effectiveness and safety of cyclodestructive procedures (cyclophotocoagulation (CPC), endocyclophotocoagulation (EPC), cryotherapy) compared with other procedures aimed to control intraocular pressure (IOP) (aqueous shunts, trabeculectomy) in people with refractory glaucoma of any type, and to assess the relative effectiveness and safety of cyclodestructive procedures compared with another cyclodestructive procedure.
