Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate efficacy and safety of the high frequency deep sclerotomy in lowering IOP and preservation of visual acuity in glaucoma patients and to detect any associated complications. SETTING: Research Institute of Ophthalmology. DESIGN: Interventional Case Series. METHODS: This study comprised 43 eyes of patients with open angle glaucoma that had High Frequency Deep Sclerotomy between June 2016 and January 2017. RESULTS: The mean intraocular pressure dropped from 31.4± 4.7to 19.06± 1.9mmHg. The mean best-corrected visual acuity dropped from 0.48± 0.17to 0 .42± 0.15. The mean corneal endothelial cell count changed from 2551.16± 199.91 to 2320.32± 182.35. CONCLUSIONS: High frequency deep sclerotomy is a glaucoma procedure that has significant IOP reducing effect with few complications
