The main objective of the article was to assess the surgical outcome of micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation in patients presenting with glaucoma after penetrating keratoplasty. We conducted a retrospective study that included 26 eyes of 26...
Importance: Traditionally cyclophotocoagulation has been reserved as a treatment of last resort for eyes with advanced stage glaucoma, but increasingly it is offered to eyes with less severe disease. Endoscopic approaches in particular are utilized i...
Background: The purpose of this study is to estimate the success rate of subliminal transscleral cyclophotocoagulation for refractory glaucoma and to determine the correlation between the decrease in intraocular pressure and the variation in choroida...

Purpose: To describe the efficacy and safety of surgical treatment in refractory glaucoma using transscleral cyclophotocoagulation with a diode laser (TSCPC). Cyclo-G6 laser with a G-probe delivery system (Iridex, Silicon Valley, CA, USA). Materials...
Background: Early studies have shown that micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TSCPC) might be an effective and safe treatment option for lowering intraocular pressure (IOP). These studies were, however, somewhat limited, in particular b...
The aim of this study was to analyze the long-term outcome of first session of micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-CPC) for refractory glaucoma developed after vitreoretinal surgery combined with silicone oil implantation. The inclusion...

Background: As the number of surgical options in glaucoma treatment is continuously rising, evidence regarding distinctive features of these surgeries is becoming more and more important for clinicians to choose the right surgical treatment for each...
Background and Objectives: Micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TSCPC) selectively targets the ciliary body epithelium to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP). This study evaluated 6-month efficacy and safety of MP-TSCPC in primary open-ang...
Background: Secondary glaucoma in children results from congenital or acquired ocular abnormalities, systemic diseases, or syndromes. These conditions impair aqueous humor outflow despite an open iridocorneal angle, causing elevated intraocular press...
Background: We evaluated the safety and efficacy of endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) for eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Methods: We included a total of 104 pseudophakic eyes treated with ECP. Visual acuity and intraocular pressur...
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) accounting for the greatest number of total glaucoma cases. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of micropulse transscleral cyc...
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the short-term outcomes of micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TSCPC) using the VITRA 810 in Japanese patients, focusing on intraocular pressure (IOP), medication score, complications, and cilioc...
Glaucoma is a vision threatening, not uncommon complication of eyes that have undergone pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil endotamponade. Although most patients respond well to medical antiglaucoma therapy, there are refractory cases where surge...
Nationwide trends in glaucoma surgical procedures were assessed by using the NDB Open Data 2014 and 2020. In Japan, 33,340 non-laser, 54,569 laser, and 88,019 total glaucoma surgeries were performed in 2014. In 2020, 60,108 non-laser, 60,547 laser, a...
Objectives: This study aims to compare micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TSCPC) laser parameters and determine the optimal laser setting. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 351 eyes from patients who underwent MP-TSCPC at...
This retrospective review examines whether there is a difference in all-cause mortality in patients who required surgical intervention for neovascular glaucoma (NVG, N = 186) versus primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG, N = 190). Cox proportional hazard...
Background: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of transscleral microcyclophotocoagulation (µCPC) in patients with glaucoma for eighteen consecutive months. Methods: Sixty-one patients (64 eyes) with primary and secondary gl...
Background: this study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of phaco-endocyclophotocoagulation (phaco-ECP) in patients with glaucoma over five consecutive years. Methods: Thirty-eight patients (38 eyes) with primary and secondary glaucoma wer...
Pediatric glaucoma (PG) covers a rare and heterogeneous group of diseases with variable causes and presentations. Delayed diagnosis of PG could lead to blindness, bringing emotional and psychological burdens to patients’ caregivers. Recent gene...
To quantify the results of childhood glaucoma treatment over time in a cohort of children with different types of childhood glaucoma. A retrospective cohort study of consecutive cases involving children with primary congenital glaucoma, primary juven...
Background: This study aimed to report the efficacy and safety of peribleb autologous blood injections in patients with hypotony maculopathy following trabeculectomy. Methods: In this retrospective chart-review study, patients with hypotony maculopat...
Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness in Africa, with disease burden exacerbated by limited access to eye care, shortages of trained ophthalmologists, and socioeconomic disparities. This review synthesizes prospective and intervention...
Background: Population-level predictors of intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering surgery for neovascular glaucoma (NVG) are understudied. This study examines factors associated with IOP-lowering surgery in California (CA) Medicare beneficiaries with NV...
Childhood glaucoma encompasses a group of rare but severe ocular disorders characterized by increased intraocular pressure (IOP), posing significant risks to vision and quality of life. Primary congenital glaucoma has a prevalence of one in 10,000&nd...
Background and objectives: Despite established common risk factors, malignant glaucoma (MG) remains a rare condition with challenging management. We aimed to analyze differences in risk factors for MG after different surgeries and outcomes after pars...
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate outcomes of visual acuity (VA) and intraocular pressure (IOP) in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR)-associated neovascular glaucoma (NVG) in Japanese patients treated with surgical therapies...
