Detailed Description
A hospital -based, prospective interventional non comparative case series study.This study will be conducted on patients with refractory glaucoma whose ages are 18 years and older.They will be subjected to Transscleral Diode Laser Cyclophotocoagulation.
Postoperative evaluation will be scheduled for the first day postoperative, then 1 week later and then at 1st, 3rd, month postoperative.
