  • Title: Transpupillary argon laser cyclophotocoagulation in the treatment of glaucoma.
    Author: Shields S, Stewart WC, Shields MB.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg; 1988 Mar; 19(3):171-5. PubMed ID: 3353082.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-seven patients with glaucoma, which could not be controlled with maximum tolerable medication and standard laser techniques, underwent transpupillary argon laser cyclophotocoagulation. Only six patients (22.3%) had a successful outcome, and the postoperative course in many cases was complicated by an additional, sustained increase in intraocular pressure. Notwithstanding these results, the procedure may be useful occasionally to preclude the need for conventional glaucoma surgery.
