Gonioprism-assisted diode cyclophotocoagulation (GADC) offers an accessible glaucoma treatment. This new technique uses a manual gonioprism and diode laser for ciliary body destruction, avoiding costly endoscopic equipment.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Cyclodestruction is a surgical option for glaucoma treatment.
  • Current endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation requires specialized equipment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a new, accessible, and inexpensive surgical technique for cyclodestruction.
  • To introduce Gonioprism-assisted diode cyclophotocoagulation (GADC) as an alternative to endoscopic methods.

Main Methods:

  • GADC utilizes a manual gonioprism, iris hooks, operating microscope, and an 810-nm diode laser probe.
  • The procedure involves a peripheral corneal approach under topical and intracameral anesthesia.
  • Laser energy is applied to the ciliary processes until shrinkage and whitening are observed.

Main Results:

  • GADC allows direct visualization of the ciliary processes.
  • The technique requires less energy delivery compared to some other methods.
  • It obviates the need for acquiring expensive endoscopic devices.

Conclusions:

  • GADC is a viable, cost-effective alternative for cyclodestruction in pseudophakic and aphakic patients.
  • The surgical technique has a relatively quick learning curve.
  • GADC provides direct visualization and controlled energy delivery for glaucoma management.
