Cycloelectrolysis for Glaucoma

Diode laser cyclophotocoagulation in Indian eyes: efficacy and safety

“…The usual scenarios, where it has been performed, have been uveitic glaucoma, neovascular glaucoma, aphakic/pseudophakic glaucomas, post keratoplasty, and post retinal/vitreoretinal surgery glaucomas. The traditional use of cyclodiathermy, cryotherapy, and cycloelectrolysis for cyclodestruction has lately been supplanted by much safer modality of laser cyclophotocoagulation [1][2][3][4][5]. Laser cyclophotocoagulation has evolved from use of ruby laser to Nd: YAG to diode laser (810 nm) wavelength with the latter scoring above the prior modalities due to its selectivity and enhanced safety.…”

Diode Laser Cyclophotocoagulation

“…Previously it has been carried out by various methods like surgical excision of ciliary body, 1 cyclodiathermy, 2,3 cycloirradiation, 4 cycloelectrolysis, 5 cyclocryotherapy, [6][7][8][9] ultrasound, 10 microwave cyclodestruction, 11 and currently by cyclophotocoagulation. Laser cyclophotocoagulation has now become the principal method of cyclodestrive procedures.…”
