Diode transscleral cyclophotocoagulation in both micropulse and continuous modes was effective in lowering intraocular pressure. The micropulse mode provided a more consistent and predictable effect in lowering intraocular pressure with minimal ocular complications.

Micropulse TSCPC is a safe and effective method of lowering IOP in cases of refractory glaucoma and is comparable with conventional TSCPC.

Purpose: To assess the clinical application of multicolor imaging by confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (cSLO). Methods: Retinal imaging was performed in 76 patients including cSLO multicolor imaging (SPECTRALIS SD-OCT, Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) and color fundus photography (CFP). Results: The use of confocal optics, reduced light scatter and automated eye tracking enable high-resolution cSLO reflectance images. Compared to CFP, the appearance of pigment alterations and hemorrhages were some of the differences observed. Various artifacts including those derived from optical media alterations need to be considered when interpreting images. Specific pathological findings including epiretinal membranes, fibrovascular proliferations, and reticular pseudodrusen may be better visualized on multicolor images. Conclusions: When using multicolor imaging, ophthalmologists need to be mindful about differences in the appearance of pathological changes and artifacts. Multicolor imaging may offer information over and above conventional CFP; it can be performed through undilated pupils and is less affected by media opacities.

Optical coherence tomography angiography is a non-invasive imaging technique that now allows for simultaneous in vivo imaging of the morphology as well as the vasculature in the eye. In this review, we provide an update on the existing clinical applications of optical coherence tomography angiography technology from the anterior to posterior segment of the eye. We also discuss the limitations of optical coherence tomography angiography technology, as well as the caveats to the interpretation of images. As current optical coherence tomography angiography systems are optimized for the retina, most studies have focused on interpreting images from conditions such as age related macular degeneration and retinal vascular diseases. However, the interpretation of these optical coherence tomography angiography images should be taken in consideration with other multi-modal imaging to overcome the limitations of each technique. In addition, there are a growing variety of clinical applications for optical coherence tomography angiography imaging in optic nerve head evaluation for glaucoma and optic neuropathies. Further developments in anterior optical coherence tomography angiography have now allowed for evaluation of anterior segment pathology such as glaucoma, ocular surface diseases, corneal vascularisation, and abnormal iris vasculature. Future developments in software could allow for improved segmentation and image resolution with automated measurements and analysis.
