Afifi, MD Professor in Ophthalmology Research Institute of Ophthalmology ABSTRACT: Purpose: To evaluate DIODE LASER trans-scleral contact cyclophtocoagulation in refractory advanced glaucomas concerning intraocular pressure (IOP), corneal affection, and postoperative complications. Patients and method: Eighteen eyes of fourteen patients were included in this study. Seven were males and seven were females. Ages ranged from 42-70 years, mean (+ ). Eight eyes ( %) had neovascular glaucoma (NVG) due to diabetes. One eye ( ) had previous penetrating keratoplasty (PKP). Another eye ( ) was silicone filled. Follow up period was eight months. Repeated procedures were needed in four eyes ( ). Results: Mean IOP after one week was mm Hg (+ ), and 23 mm Hg (+ ) after eight months.
