What is Diode Laser Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation for the Treatment of Primary Glaucoma in 18 Dogs: a Retrospective Study about?

## Abstract ## Objective To evaluate a higher total energy protocol for diode laser transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCP) for the treatment of primary glaucoma in dogs. ## Procedures Diode laser TSCP was performed on 24 eyes of 18 dogs (six dogs were treated bilaterally). A glaucoma probe with a spot size of 600 microns was applied in 25 sites 3–4 mm posterior to the limbus for dogs. A power of 1000 milliwatts (mW) for a duration of 5000 milliseconds (ms) to deliver an average 125 J of energy per eye, which is higher energy delivery than previously reported for the diode laser for the treatment of canine glaucoma. Anterior chamber needle paracentesis was performed using a 30‐gauge needle until intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured to be less than 15 mmHg by applanation tonometry. Subconjunctival corticosteroids were administered in all cases and a temporary tarsorrhaphy was applied in 13 of the 24 treated eyes. Postoperative topical and systemic corticosteroids, and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors were administered as required to maintain an IOP of less than 25 mmHg. Intraocular pressure was measured at approximately 3 h postoperatively then at 1, 2, 3, 7, 14, 28, 60, 120, and
