LAS VEGAS — Endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation may be effective for treating neovascular glaucoma, according to a small study presented here.

Rodolfo M. Banda-Gonzales, MD, and Vincent R. Vann, MD, PhD, reviewed the results of endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation performed using a diode laser in 18 eyes of 18 patients. They presented their results in a poster here at the American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting.

Mean IOP was 44.19 mm Hg preoperatively and 22.96 mm Hg at final follow-up, according to the poster authors.

However, the authors warned that there is a risk for hypotony, which occurred in four eyes (22%) in the study.
