[Trans scleral cyclophotocoagulation with diode laser, modern method of treatment in cyclodestructive surgery]
1Spitalul Militar Central Bucureşti.
Purpose:
To analyze the results in lower IOP using cyclophotocoagulaton with diode laser in a refractory glaucoma series of cases (standard protocol).
Method:
23 eyes from 23 subjects, watched for 6 months (preliminary results). Power 1600 mW, exposure 500 ms, wave 810 nm. The parameters who had been watched: IOP, VA, neovascularization, corneal oedema, epitelial breaks, pain and photophobia.
Results:
IOP had changed from 32.08 mm Hg to 20.47 mm Hg. VA had been stationary in 65.2% cases; decreased in 30.43% and increased in 4.34% cases; 43.47% subjects needed just another laser session and 13.04% needed two another interventions. Average sessions 1.69; average power 18.08 W; average applications 22.6.
Conclusions:
The protocol used, repeated in need, seems to be sure and efficient in lower IOP and in ocular pain relief in refractory glaucoma cases with minimum VA.
