Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Retrospective review of endoscopic diode laser cyclophotocoagulation.
  • Focus on the delivery system and procedure for glaucoma management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the role of endoscopic diode laser cyclophotocoagulation in glaucoma management.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness and application of this technique.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an 810-nm pulsed continuous-wave diode laser with 1.2-W output.
  • Treatment involved a single limbal incision covering 7-8 clock hours.
  • Standard parameters: 800 mW for <1 second, totaling 0.8 J per treatment.

Main Results:

  • Eight eyes from 6 patients were treated.

  • Mean follow-up was 3.2 months per procedure and 5.1 months per eye.
  • Postoperative inflammation was the most frequent complication observed.

    • Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic laser cyclophotocoagulation allows direct visualization of ciliary processes.
    • This direct approach may improve treatment accuracy compared to transscleral methods, especially in congenital glaucoma.
    • Accurate application to individual ciliary processes can overcome displacement issues.
