Cyclophotocoagulation in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma

Low Power Continuous Wave Versus Micro Pulse Diode Versus High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Cyclophotocoagulation in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma

The use of Cyclodestruction procedures has been extended to patients with non-refractory glaucoma and good vision. Our aim is to compare the safety and efficacy of three cyclodestructive treatments; High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) Cyclocoagulation versus micropulse cyclophotocoagulation (MP-CPC) versus transscleral continuous wave cyclophotocoagulation (CW-CPC) for the treatment of Primary open angle glaucoma.

Inclusion Criteria:

• medically uncontrolled, primary open angle glaucoma attending glaucoma clinic

Exclusion Criteria:

• patients with history of previous laser or surgical intervention
