Cataract Extraction Combined with Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Cataract Surgery in the Glaucoma Patient

Some of the earliest work regarding cyclodestruction as a means to treat glaucoma occurred when Heine observed decreases in intraocular pressure with detachments of the ciliary body.1 Verhoeff followed by surgically excising the ciliary body in 1924.2 Vogt later popularized the use of a penetrating diathermy technique to destroy the ciliary body in the late 1930s.3,4 In 1950, Bietti became the first person to correlate cyclocryotherapy with intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction.5 Purnell advocated a transscleral ultrasound radiation to produce the desired destruction in the early 1960s.6 Since that time, cyclophotocoagulation through either a transpupillary route or a contact or non-contact transscleral route has been popularized utilizing a multitude of different lasers.
