A phase ii clinical study with 12 months follow up clinical ophthalmology 2008 download now.
At 17 1 months mean range 6 to 24 months follow up 4 of 5 patients had complete resolution of symptoms.
With micropulse a continuous wave laser beam is chopped into a train of short repetitive low energy pulses separated by a brief rest period which allows the tissue to cool.
The benefit of cyclodiode laser is to reduce eye pressure to prevent or delay further damage or reduce pain from high eye pressure.
Micropulse transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation in the treatment of refractory glaucoma clinical experimental opthalmology 2010 download now.
Transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation tscpc is an established method of treatment for refractory glaucoma but is associated with significant complications.
The interpulse period in micropulse diode laser trabeculoplasty mdlt allows for the temperature of the pigmented cells to return to baseline before the next micropulse and hence does not lead to cellular damage from cumulative thermal rise scarring or morphological changes in the tm tissue thermal spreading and subsequent collateral damage.
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a new form of tscpc using micropulse diode laser and trans pars plana treatment with a novel contact probe.
In this surgery an 810 nm diode laser probe is placed on the surface of the eye on the sclera and there are no incisions made.
It is an effective alternative to expensive medications and invasive surgeries.
