Abstract

Aim of the study:  To explore the efficacy and safety of trans-scleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulationin the treatment of refractory Glaucoma as well as  its effects on intra ocular pressure IOP and pain relief. Material & Methods:-             19 patients, 20 eyes, one of patient both eyes were treated. 10 patients having neovascular Glaucoma, 5 patients PCAG and 4 patients DOAG followed up for about 6 months. Results: Mean intraocularpressure (IOP) for the 20 eyes at first visit was (38.1500 ± 13.63924)  mmHgreducing to (15.1000± 3.56740) mmHg one week later. Conclusion:             Trans-scleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation is a safe andconvenient technique in the management of with refractory Glaucoma
