A comparison of CW Nd:YAG contact transscleral cyclophotocoagulation with cyclocryopexy.
Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science 1989 March
The cyclodestructive and inflammatory effects of CW Nd:YAG contact laser were compared to those of conventional cryopexy. CW Nd:YAG light transmitted by fiber optic cable and sapphire crystal was applied transsclerally to the ciliary body of pigmented and albino rabbits. Cyclocryopexy was given to a comparable second group. The intraocular pressure (IOP), flare, iritis, cells and conjunctival hyperemia were monitored clinically up to 3 weeks. The breakdown of the blood-aqueous barrier and time course of ocular inflammation was similar for both modalities and IOP was -12.2 +/- 4.2 mm Hg for laser cyclopexy and -15.1 +/- 5.4 mm Hg for cyclocryopexy at 3 weeks. Ciliary body lesions were noted in both groups. Overall, albino rabbits showed less histological damage and faster recovery of IOP. Contact cyclophotocoagulation and cyclocryopexy can be considered models of ocular injury. The similarities in ocular irritative response suggest a similar pathophysiologic mechanism underlying the pressure behavior in both thermal mode injuries.
