Real-world outcomes of micropulse transscleral laser therapy in glaucoma patients: Efficacy of initial and repeated treatment, transient intraocular pressure spikes
MP-TLT is associated with significant IOP spikes in the first post-operative hours. Thus, close post-interventional IOP monitoring or even preventive (additional) IOP-lowering treatment may be considered. In the long term, the procedure yields favourable outcomes in terms of safety and IOP reduction. Repeated MP-TLT treatment, if necessary, seems to achieve more sustained IOP reduction than the initial treatment.
