Abstract
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.
