One of these approaches is MicroPulse laser therapy. "In the past, cyclophotocoagulation performed via a transscleral approach was reserved as a last-resort procedure for end-stage glaucoma. Today, cyclophotocoagulation using MicroPulse Laser Technology (MicroPulse P3, IRIDEX) is a sutureless procedure that effectively reduces IOP and medication use with greater safety." | Read More | MicroPulse (MP3) Laser Cyclophotocoagulation: Pros and Cons In this video, Monisha M.
