Abstract
Glaucoma is one of the important eye diseases today, one of the most studied eye diseases in the world. However, despite many studies, to date there is no consensus among veterinarians about the best treatment for this medical condition. With advances in technology, such as the emergence of ophthalmic laser, new techniques for the surgical treatment of glaucoma were developed, which are increasingly more effective, less invasive, and causing less postoperative complications. An example is the relatively new cyclophotocoagulation laser, which has proven to be one of the most effective techniques for IOP control. However, there have been few studies on this technique. An experiment using eight glaucomatous dogs – total of eleven eyes – was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of laser cyclophotocoagulation as a treatment for glaucoma. This experiment shows a decreased in IOP in 100% of the operated dogs, and the technique has been proven effective, maintaining normal IOP levels in 55% of the cases.
