TSCPC uses laser energy delivered through the sclera (white of the eye) to selectively treat parts of the ciliary body responsible for fluid production. By reducing fluid output, it helps lower eye pressure, especially in eyes resistant to other treatments.
Procedure summary
Anaesthesia
Conducted under local or general anaesthesia, ensuring patient comfort.
Laser Application
A laser probe is placed externally against the sclera and delivers energy to the ciliary body. This non-invasive technique avoids entering the eye itself.
Clinical benefits
- Minimally invasive with a lower risk profile compared to internal surgery
- Effective in lowering pressure in advanced or refractory glaucoma
- Avoids surgical incisions and maintains ocular integrity
