The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of the Micropulse Trans-Scleral Cyclophotocoagulation Laser (MP-TSCPC) after 1 day, 1 week,1 month, 3 months, 6 months and one year of follow-up, with the intent to evaluate the efficacy of using MP-TSCPC to treat glaucoma patients.
Patients will be submitted to MP-TSCPC throughout the year of 2020, according to parameters determined by the Principal Investigator and executed by the Principal Investigator, after signing the Consent Form and agreeing on having their data used for research purpose. Postsurgical follow up visits will be scheduled for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. Patients IOP, number of medications, visual acuity, visual field, iris color, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness on OCT and any complications (iritis, corneal edema, hyphema, vitreous hemorrhage, vision loss, cataract progression or hypotony maculopathy) will be measured by trained ophthalmic assistants supervised by the Principal Investigator and documented at each visit. Authorized Mayo Clinic personnel will perform chart reviews; using administrative data as designated by Dr. Dorairaj. The data will be statistically analyzed to illustrate the results and determine if the objectives and primary and secondary endpoints were achieved
