Refractory glaucoma is glaucoma resistant to conventional management (maximally tolerated medical therapy, one or more glaucoma surgeries) and glaucoma in cases of neovascularisation after panretinal photocoagulation or cryoablation. The aim of the study was to determine the intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering efficacy of transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation (DCPC) treatment in the management of pain and IOP in patients with refractory glaucoma.
