title: Trans-scleral krypton laser cyclophotocoagulation: our experience of its use on patients with neovascular glaucoma.
abstract: Trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation is an efficacious method in neovascular glaucoma (NVG) treatment. We have used it with krypton laser on 12 eyes of 12 patients affected by NVG with algetic symptoms. Six months after treatment, intraocular pressure was down enough for the pain to disappear. Executional simplicity and the possibility of modulating the intensity of the treatment are grounds for the encouragement of the technique's use in NVG.
