The aim of this study was to analyze the long-term outcome of first session of micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-CPC) for refractory glaucoma developed after vitreoretinal surgery combined with silicone oil implantation. The inclusion criteria of this consecutive case series were: patients with secondary glaucoma in the refractory stage who underwent MP-CPC between 2018 and 2021, vitreoretinal surgery combined with silicon oil implantation, and at least a 24-month follow-up period after MP-CPC. Success was defined as the baseline eye pressure reduced at least 20%, and it should be ranged between 10 to 20 mmHg without further MP-CPC at the end of the follow-up. For this retrospective study, 11 eyes of 11 patients were selected. The reduction in IOP was found to be significant ( = 0.004) at the end of the follow-up time, and the success rate was 72% according to our results. The change in the number of antiglaucoma agents in the administered eyedrops was not significant compared to the baseline values. At the end of the follow-up period the change in BCVA values was not significant ( = 0.655). Our results confirm significant IOP lowering effect of this subthreshold method preserving visual performance safely even in eyes with previous vitrectomy surgery with a silicone oil implantation.
