Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of CONTACT DIODE LASER in HYPOTONY MACULOPATHY following TRABECULECTOMY with MITOMYCIN C in glaucoma patients.Methods: This interventional case serieswas performed on patients with hypotony (IOP< 6 mmHg) associated with decreased vision and/or ophthalmic signs ofmaculopathy such as macular folds and choroidal detachment following TRABECULECTOMY with MITOMYCIN C. They were evaluated after one month and were scheduled for laser therapy if the signs and symptoms had not mproved. Laser therapy was performed with G-probe around or directly over the bleb in the operating room under sterile condition with retrobulbar anesthesia. Success indicator was IOP≥6 mmHg and improvement or no worsening in maculopathy after 2 months of follow up. Results: Eight patients (6 males and 2 females) were treated. Mean IOP before therapy was 4±1.3 mmHg (1-5 mmHg) and two months after the therapy reached 10.12±3.5mmHg (4-16 mmHg). Funduscopic findings did not change after therapy. Laser therapy was successful in 87.5% of the cases (CI95%:65-100%). In no patient leakage of the bleb, cataract, or bleb perforation was seen. In one patient, IOP increased so timolol drop 0.5% twice daily was begun. Conclusion: CONTACT DIODE LASER treatment of thin-walled blebs is probably an effective measure to elevate IOP. Further studies are recommended for evaluation of this treatment modality.
