Study investigates predictors of success for diode laser cyclophotocoagulation in glaucoma

Higher baseline IOP and a history of cataract extraction were found to be predictors of success in a cohort of patients with glaucoma undergoing micropulse transscleral diode laser photocoagulation.
Successful cases maintained stable IOP in the long term, according to a poster presented at the virtual Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology meeting.
Similar to continuous wave cyclophotocoagulation, micropulse transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation causes ciliary body destruction to reduce aqueous production and lower IOP but with fewer complications, and it retains the
