A clinical observation of carbon dioxide laser-assisted deep sclerectomy for Posner-Schlossman Syndrome

Key Points

Effective IOP reduction was observed, implying potential benefits for managing refractory PSS.
Findings indicated favorable structural and functional preservation of the optic nerve over mid-term follow-up.
A minimally invasive procedure like CLASS surgery shows a manageable profile of minor complications reported.
Long-term efficacy remains uncertain and requires confirmation through larger prospective studies.

Abstract

CLASS surgery provides effective and sustained IOP reduction in patients with refractory PSS. It demonstrates favorable structural and functional preservation of the optic nerve over the mid-term follow-up, with a manageable profile of minor complications. These preliminary findings suggest CLASS is a promising minimally invasive surgical option for this condition, though its long-term efficacy warrants confirmation in larger prospective studies.
