- Study researchers evaluated the 5-year effectiveness and safety of micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TSCPC) for primary and secondary glaucoma and found that it is a safe and effective treatment for lowering IOP and decreasing the number of IOP-lowering medications.
- The procedure aims to reduce intraocular pressure while minimizing damage to ocular structures.
- Complications included cases of cystoid macular edema, corneal graft rejection, and fibrinous anterior chamber reaction.
- The investigators reported a decrease in the need for retreatment over time and no statistically significant correlations between the number of preoperative medications and the need for additional surgery.
