Visual acuity in patients with glaucoma after applying the threshold laser transscleral contact-compression cyclocoagulation
The work shows the results of visual acuity study after threshold transscleral cyclocoagulation applied on 200 eyes of patients with open-angle and neovascular glaucoma, to estimate its safety and effi cacy. The use of a threshold transscleral cyclocoagulation helps to save and in some cases improve visual acuity in patients with refractory primary open-angle and neovascular glaucoma. The effectiveness of the threshold transscleral cyclocoagulation is higher in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma and lower in patients with neovascular glaucoma, which requires further development and improvement of neovascular glaucoma laser treatment methods.
