Popis: Pur po se: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation (TDCP) for treatment of uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation secondary to emulsification of silicone oil (SiO) injection. Ma te ri al and Met hod: In this retrospective case series, forty-one eyes of 41 patients who underwent TDCP for uncontrolled IOP secondary to emulsified SiO were reviewed. Main outcome measures included visual acuity (VA), IOP changes, number of antiglaucomatous medication, and postoperative complications. Re sults: Mean±SD follow-up was 30.2±10.3 months (range, 16-41 months). Mean preoperative BCVA was 20/666 and mean postoperative BCVA at final visit was 20/400 (p=0.02). Mean intraocular pressure (IOP) on the preoperative and last postoperative visit was 34.1±8.3 mmHg and 15.7±4.1 mmHg, respectively (p
