Morphometric Markers of the Effectiveness of Micropulse Cyclophotocoagulation: The Influence of Choroidal Thickness on the Extent and Duration of the Hypotensive Effect
This prospective study aims to evaluate morphometric markers of treatment response following micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-CPC) in patients with glaucoma. The study will assess changes in choroidal thickness and the choroidal vascularity index (CVI) measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT) before treatment, 3-7 days after the procedure, and 1 month postoperatively. Intraocular pressure (IOP) will be measured at the same time points. The correlation between changes in choroidal thickness, the choroidal vascularity index (CVI) and IOP reduction will be analyzed. Additionally, the study seeks to determine the minimal baseline choroidal thickness associated with a clinically significant hypotensive effect after MP-CPC.
