Introduction
Cyclocryotherapy (CCT) is cyclodestructive procedure involves freezing the ciliary processes from an
external approach. The main purpose of CCT is to treat uncontrolled or refractory glaucoma. It also
used to reduce ocular pain in some patients with end stage glaucoma.
Objectives
To analize clinical conditions of patients who underwent cyclocryotherapy.
Design
Retrospective review of medical records of patients who underwent cyclocryotherapy at Dr. YAP
Hospital in Yogyakarta.
Methods
Data regarding demographic and clinical features of patients who underwent CCT from January 2016
until January 2017. Data including diagnosis, visual acuity, gender, age, IOP, VAS, cornea condition,
and numbers of medications.
Results
This study observed 34 patients who had undergone CCT that consist of 19 males(55,88%) and 15
females(44,12%) with average age 60,4 years old. The most cause of CCT was pain with VAS ≥3 in
56% eyes and N++ IOP in 24eyes(75%), N+ IOP in 9eyes(26%). The diagnosis were PACG absolute
stage in 41 %, NVG absolute stage in 32%. Duration between diagnosis and CCT were ≤3months in
24% patients, 4-6 months: 18%, 7-12 months: 12%, and >1 year: 32%. Visual acuity before CCT
were NLP in 75% patients, LP (3%), HM (9%), 1/60 (3%). The conditions of cornea before CCT were
edema 33% and 38% still clear. The using 3 of antiglaucoma medications was in 9%, 2 antiglaucoma
in 59%, and 18% only use 1 antiglaucoma medication.
Conclusions
The cause of underwent CCT is pain. The most common diagnosis was PACG absolute stage. Most of
them have visual acuity no light perseption with various condition of the cornea.
