Purpose: To investigate the relationship between the depth of wide and narrow primary macular staphyloma and myopic macular retinoschisis.
Methods: Sixty-nine highly myopic eyes with wide and narrow primary macular staphyloma were included in this cross-sectional study and classified into two groups according to the presence or absence of myopic macular retinoschisis on swept-source optical coherence tomography. All patients received a complete ophthalmologic examination with determination of macular staphyloma depth by ocular ultrasonography (B-scan).
Aim: To describe our first experience with the efficacy of micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TSCPC) procedure in the treatment of different glaucoma subtypes refractory to topical medication using a standard protocol.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective, interventional study in a series of 35 eyes of 34 patients with refractory glaucoma who underwent MP-TSCPC. Treatment success was defined as an intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction of at least 20% compared to baseline with or without IOP-lowering medication or eventual retreatment.
