Neovascular glaucoma (NVG) is a serious type of secondary glaucoma, marked by the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the iris and anterior chamber angle, typically linked to systemic conditions. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of transscleral cyclophotocoagulation using a micro-pulse diode laser for the treatment of painful NVG. Thirty patients with neovascular glaucoma were clinically observed, with evaluations focusing on visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), and pain alleviation. The procedure involved micro-pulse diode laser cyclophotocoagulation, followed by treatments to reduce inflammation and lower IOP. The findings showed a notable decrease in IOP and significant pain relief, highlighting this method as an effective organ-preserving option for NVG management.
