: To compare the success rates and safety of transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCPC) for the treatment of refractory glaucoma using the slow coagulation technique and the conventional technique. : A retrospective, interventional case series of 44 patients (44 eyes) who underwent TSCPC using the slow coagulation technique (22 eyes) and conventional technique (22 eyes) in a tertiary hospital was done. The main outcome measures were success and complications.

A 10-year retrospective review of primary acute angle closure in Hong Kong Chinese to document patient demographics, treatment, and pre- and post-acute angle closure intraocular pressure (IOP) and visual acuity (VA). The year of attack was correlated with the timing of laser, last VA and IOP, and the number of anti-glaucoma eye drops.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify risk factors for phacomorphic glaucoma in eyes with mature cataracts by comparing 90 affected eyes with 90 controls.
- Results indicated that phacomorphic glaucoma eyes had significantly higher intraocular pressure and shorter axial length (mean 23.1 mm) than control eyes (mean 23.7 mm).
- It concluded that an axial length of 23.7 mm or less increases the risk of developing phacomorphic glaucoma by 4.3 times compared to longer axial lengths.
