    Visualized cyclodialysis effectively lowered intraocular pressure (IOP) in most glaucoma patients. This surgical technique offers a viable option for complex glaucoma cases, though careful monitoring is essential.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Procedures
    • Glaucoma Management

    Background:

    • Trabeculectomy is often unsuitable for certain operation-demanding glaucoma cases.
    • Glaucoma management requires effective surgical interventions when medical or less invasive surgical options fail.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of visualized cyclodialysis in patients with advanced glaucoma.
    • To assess the impact of visualized cyclodialysis on intraocular pressure (IOP) and visual outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Visualized cyclodialysis was performed on 16 glaucoma patients.
    • Nine patients underwent simultaneous cataract extraction.
    • Follow-up ranged from 2 to 34 months (median 15 months).

    Main Results:

    • Intraocular pressure (IOP) decreased from a median of 32 mmHg to 17 mmHg in 15 out of 16 eyes.
    • One eye required evisceration due to persistent pain.
    • Five eyes needed reoperation, with complications including visual field impairment and arteriovenous occlusion.

    Conclusions:

    • Visualized cyclodialysis is a useful surgical option for aphakic glaucoma and in re-operation scenarios.
    • Close post-operative monitoring for 1-2 months is crucial for managing potential complications.
