Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of micropulse mp3 cyclodiode laser in controlling intraocular pressure without acetazolamide. Study Design: Descriptive case series. Place and Duration of Study: Department Ophthalmology, Liaquat National Hospital, Karachi for 6 months duration from 15-03-19 to 15-09-19. Material and Methods: All patients of either gender with age 20 to 50 years with Primary open angle glaucoma, Neovascular, Refractory, Uveitic, Trauma induced glaucoma, and Post vitrectomy glaucoma were included. Patients with Primary angle closure and Normal tension glaucoma were excluded from the study. Descriptive statistics were calculated. Frequencies and percentages were computed for qualitative variables. Quantitative variables were presented as mean ± standard deviation. The mean baseline IOP was compared with mean IOP of 3 months using student t-test. Effect modifiers were controlled through stratification. Fisher exact test was used to see the association of effectiveness with stratified groups. P-value ≤ 0.05 was considered as significant. Results: Out of 98 patients included in the study, 63.3% were males and 36.7% were females. Mean age of the patients was 48.46±13.39 years. The effectiveness of Micropulse Mp3 Cyclodiode Laser was observed in 85.7% cases. Significant mean difference was found between pre-op IOP with IOP after 3 months for right eye and left eye. Insignificant association of effectiveness was found with gender, age, type and procedure. Conclusion: Micro pulse MP3 provides promising results with high level of effectiveness and with great potential advantages to be considered as a safe alternative procedure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
