About

The use of Cyclodestruction procedures has been extended to patients with non-refractory glaucoma and good vision. Our aim is to compare the safety and efficacy of three cyclodestructive treatments; High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) Cyclocoagulation versus micropulse cyclophotocoagulation (MP-CPC) versus transscleral continuous wave cyclophotocoagulation (CW-CPC) for the treatment of Primary open angle glaucoma.
