Purpose:
|
To compare the outcome (efficacy and safety) of the slow cyclophotocoagulation (CPC) to the standard method (pop titration method) in treatment of refractory glaucoma
|
Methods:
|
36 eyes of 36 patients with refractory glaucoma were enrolled and randomized as group A (slow CPC) with low laser power and doubled exposure time (4 seconds v/s 2 seconds) or group B (standard) with pop titration method of CPC between October 2013 and July 2014 and followed up for 3 months.post treatment IOP, inflammation, number of anti-glaucoma medications, and the degree of post CPC pain compared between groups on 1st, 7th, 30th days after procedure.
|
Results:
|
Both methods are effective in controlling IOP and the success rate between two groups was not significantly different in all follow up visits (p>0.05). Post-treatment anti-glaucoma medications were adjusted according to intraocular pressure and the difference was not significant (p=0.5).Although pain scores and anterior chamber reaction as an inflammation indicator were lower in slow CPC group the difference was not statistically significant on 1st day (p=0.2) and 7th day (p=0.56) post- treatment. No major complication observed.
|
Conclusion:
|
Slow CPC is effective in controlling refractory glaucoma and post treatment inflammation and pain may be lower than the standard method.
