AIM: To investigate the outcome and treatment parameter of transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation in refractory glaucoma. METHODS: Fifty patients 50 eyes of refractory glaucoma were treated with the transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation, the power, area, points of photocoagulation, points of blast were recorded, intraocutar pressure (IOP), symptom, visual acuity, the representation of anterior segment before and after treatment and the complication were observed. RESULTS: The average of IOP was 18.50 (plus or minus) 2.50 mmHg after treatment, obviously decreased after treatment (P < 0.01). The pain decreased in 46 eyes, the decreasing amount of IOP was not obviously correlated with power, but had relativity with area and points of cyclophotocoagulation, and had obvious positive relativity with points of blast. CONCLUSION: It is a safe and effective method to treat the refractory glaucoma with transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation; and it is important to design the treatment parameter acording to the IOP before treatment and different type glaucoma.
