Micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation lowered IOP in pediatric patients with refractory glaucoma, according to a poster at the virtual American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus annual meeting.
Researchers conducted a retrospective review of patients with pediatric glaucoma who underwent micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (CPC). The review included 17 eyes of 16 patients. Baseline IOP was 33.2 ± 13 mm Hg. After the procedure, average IOP was 25 ± 9.9 mm Hg, with a final follow-up pressure of 24.2 ± 11 mm Hg, according to the poster.
