Abstract
None:
We report the case of a 37-year-old patient who experienced a conjunctival burn due to overheating of the probe of a micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation device. Fortunately, the outcome was favorable; however, the persistent conjunctival fibrosis may pose future surgical problems for this young glaucoma patient. It is essential to be aware of this rare complication and to take appropriate precautions to prevent it.
