S. Distaso et al., TRANSSCLERAL KRYPTON LASER CYCLOPHOTOCOAGULATION - OUR EXPERIENCE OF ITS USE ON PATIENTS WITH NEOVASCULAR GLAUCOMA, Acta ophthalmologica Scandinavica, 75, 1997, pp. 37-38
Trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation is an efficacious method in neovas
cular glaucoma (NVG) treatment. We have used it with krypton laser on
12 eyes of 12 patients affected by NVG with algetic symptoms. Six mont
hs after treatment, intraocular pressure was down enough for the pain
to disappear. Executional simplicity and the possibility of modulating
the intensity of the treatment are grounds for the encouragement of t
he technique's use in NVG.
