Abstract
AIMS To analyse the results of intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction in refractory glaucoma following diode laser cyclophotocoagulation with a repeatable standard protocol. METHODS 58 eyes of 53 patients were followed for 6–37 months (mean 19 months) after initial cyclodiode treatment. RESULTS Mean (SD) pretreatment IOP for the 58 eyes was 33.0 mm Hg (10.7) reducing at final index visit to 16.7 mm Hg (7.8) (pCONCLUSION The simple treatment protocol, repeated if necessary, appears relatively safe and effective at lowering IOP in eyes with refractory glaucoma.Keywords
