| Abstract | ||
| Purpose: To compare the clinical outcome of Micro-Pulse Laser Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TSCPC) in neovascular glaucoma (NVG) versus primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) using Zig Zag technique. Methods: prospective comparative clinical study. Participants: 11 eyes of 10 consecutive patients with advanced NVG, and 13 eyes of 10 consecutive patients with advanced POAG in which IOP was uncontrolled despite maximum tolerated antiglaucoma medications. Treatment success: indicated by a decrease in IOP with 30%, or IOP ranging between 6 & 21 mmHg. Results: thirteen eyes of 10 patients with POAG and 11 eyes from 10 NVG patients were included. Postoperatively, the mean IOP in all patients significantly decreased at all follow-up points (P | ||
