title: The effect of transscleral laser cyclophotocoagulation on rabbit ciliary body vascularization.
abstract: Long-term changes in the vascular network of rabbit ciliary processes induced by Nd:YAG laser cyclophotocoagulation were examined both from a morphological viewpoint and with respect to three-dimensional organization (in vascular casts). Relative changes in intraocular pressure (IOP), monitored within eyes irradiated across one-quarter, one-half, three-quarters, or all of the ciliary body circumference, are discussed in relation to morphological changes. The clinical implications of these findings are considered.
