Abstract:To examine the changes in scleral birefringence, a marker of collagen-related fibrotic responses, following micropulse cyclophotocoagulation (MP-CPC) using polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography, we conducted a prospective observational study involving 18 eyes of 16 glaucoma patients who underwent MP-CPC. The procedure employed a Cyclo G6 glaucoma laser system (IRIDEX, Mountain View, CA, USA) with laser power set at 2,500 mW and an 80-second duration per hemisphere. Over 6 months, we evaluated cli… Show more
