ABSTRACT
To analyze the results of intraocular pressure reduction by diode laser contact transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCPC) in eyes with neovascular glaucoma, six eligible eyes (6 patients) diagnosed with neovascular glaucoma, were treated with the IRIS Medical Oculight SLx diode laser (810 nm) system.19-20 laser applications at 1.25 to 2.0 W and 2.0 second duration were done with the G-Probe fiberoptic delivery system.Mean pre-treatment IOP was 41+_ 8.334 mm Hg (range 30 to 55 mm Hg).All eyes were painful.Vision ranged from 2o/200 to LP.After average follow up of 7 months (13 to 1 month), mean IOP reduction was 23.33 +_ 8.358 mm Hg (range 18 to 40 mm Hg)Vision did not worsen in all eyes,Two eyes depost-operative hyphema, which cleared spontaneously within days.None developed phthisis bulbi.Contact diode laser transscleral cyclophotocoagulation reduces pain and intraocular pressure in eyes with neovascular glaucoma.
