Comparison of micropulse and continuous-wave transscleral cyclophotocoagulation: a tertiary center experience.

Key Points

• The aim is to compare the effectiveness and safety of micropulse and continuous-wave transscleral cyclophotocoagulation.
• Data from a tertiary center was analyzed for micropulse and continuous-wave treatments.
• Intraocular pressure (IOP) control and use of glaucoma drops were measured.
• Ocular inflammation and retreatment rates were assessed.
• CW-CPC provided better IOP control compared to MP-CPC.
• Less usage of glaucoma drops was observed with CW-CPC.
• MP-CPC had earlier and more common retreatments.
• Increased ocular inflammation was reported in the CW-CPC group, but safety was similar in both.
