Cyclodiode Laser as the First Surgical Approach in Childhood Glaucoma Under the Age of 8 Years

Conclusions: Cyclodiode laser in childhood glaucoma patients under the age of 8 years can be considered a safe alternative for glaucoma patients who can have a high risk of surgical complications. Performing cyclodiode laser can delay the need for penetrating glaucoma surgery. The IOP at 6 weeks may be a good predictor for the treatment outcome.
