Neovascular glaucoma (NVG) is a severe form of secondary glaucoma, characterized by the development of new blood vessels in the iris and anterior chamber angle, often associated with systemic diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of transscleral cyclophotocoagulation using a diode laser in micro-pulse mode for treating painful NVG. Clinical observations were conducted on 30 patients with neovascular glaucoma, with assessments focusing on visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), and pain reduction. Laser cyclophotocoagulation was performed using a micro-pulse diode laser, followed by anti-inflammatory and IOP-lowering treatments. Results demonstrated a significant reduction in IOP and pain relief, providing an effective organ-preserving alternative for managing NVG.
