AIM: To investigate the effect, safety and postoperation complications in the treatment of ciliary block glaucoma by transscleral cyclodiode laser photocoagulation. METHODS: It is a prospective study. Seven patients diagnosed ciliary block glaucoma were given maximal dose anti-glaucoma medicines. But their intraocular pressure were still more than 30mmHg. Then they were treated by transscleral cyclodiode laser photocoagulation. RESULTS: Intraocular pressure and best-corrected visual acuity were compared between preoperation and postoperation after 1 intervention week Mean (plus or minus) SD intraocular pressure was reduced from 33.63 (plus or minus) 4.50mmHg pre-operatively to 15.88 (plus or minus) 3.21 mmHg post-operatively; Mean (plus or minus) SD best-corrected visual acuity was increased from 0.16 (plus or minus) 0.11 preoperatively to 0.42 (plus or minus) 0.20 post-operatively. These two indexes were significantly different. All the patients' anterior chamber were formed during 36 hours and one patient who had a small hyphema healed well. CONCLUSION: Transscleral cyclodiode laser photocoagulation appears to be an effective and safe treatment for ciliary block glaucoma. LA: Chinese
