Article Synopsis
- A case was reported of an 87-year-old woman who developed post-operative endophthalmitis after cataract surgery combined with iStent glaucoma treatment.
- Despite multiple attempts to place the second iStent, it was unsuccessful and endophthalmitis was diagnosed just four days after the surgery.
- The patient ultimately lost all light perception, raising awareness about the potential severe complications associated with iStent placement.
Precis: This study is the first to report micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TSCPC) use in only good vision patients. MP-TSCPC significantly reduced intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma medication use without any significant reduction in visual acuity at every postoperative follow-up point.
Purpose: To evaluate outcomes of MP-TSCPC in eyes with baseline best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of ≥20/60.
