“…Given the mechanical changes in ciliary process height, the authors of this review have utilized ECP to produce an endocycloplasty effect in patients with plateau iris syndrome, which was first described in 2009 [24]. Francis et al [25] describe a small series of patients in whom this technique was utilized, with resultant angle opening as evidenced by objective ultrasound biomicroscopic metrics.…”

Although the challenges of performing cataract extraction on glaucoma patients exist, the potential benefit to these patients is substantial. With attention to pre- and perioperative surgical planning and intraoperative technique, as well as with awareness and potential utilization of novel devices and treatment strategies, cataract extraction offers a unique platform for anatomical and functional improvement in this increasingly common cohort of patients.

“…This achieves a 61% IOP reduction but is currently reserved for refractory glaucoma due to increased risk for inflammation. 49 More clinical data are needed, but it is likely that patients with other risk factors for CME, such as diabetes or uveitis, are not ideal candidates for ECP.…”

Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery aims to provide a medication-sparing, conjunctival-sparing, ab interno approach to intraocular pressure reduction for patients with mild-to-moderate glaucoma that is safer than traditional incisional glaucoma surgery. The current approaches include: increasing trabecular outflow (Trabectome, iStent, Hydrus stent, gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy, excimer laser trabeculotomy); suprachoroidal shunts (Cypass micro-stent); reducing aqueous production (endocyclophotocoagulation); and subconjunctival filtration (XEN gel stent). The data on each surgical procedure for each of these approaches are reviewed in this article, patient selection pearls learned to date are discussed, and expectations for the future are examined.

“…Endo cycloplasty is a technique where shrinkage of ciliary processes with photocoagulation also helps in widening the AC angle in PIS and for treatment of irido ciliary cysts causing angle closure. [ 143 144 ] This is generally combined with a lens extraction.…”
