Hello,
Transscleral diode therapy for glaucoma and cyclodestruction.
I have a basic understanding of what to expect from these two; benefits, risks, etc, but this is not what I’m looking for here.
If one of these two procedures has been done on you, then please post here. I’m interested to know whether or not either of these two procedures were helpful for you.
Or if you’ve had any other treatment for glaucoma, then please post here what your experience with that was.
If you’re not comfortable posting publicly, then feel free to send me a private message. I’d appreciate it.
Thank you!

I'd be interested in hearing more about those treatments as well since I've never heard of them. Right now I'm at the stage where eye drops are maintaining healthy pressures in one eye, and the other eye is no good as it developed an infection and died a few years ago.

actually i had a tube put in my eye for the glaucoma. it is maintaining the pressure quite nicely. i had had no glaucoma trouble ever since it was put in.
