Semiconductor diode laser transscleral cyclophotocoagulation in a patient with glaucoma secondary to metastatic tumor to the iris

Management of a case of glaucoma secondary to an iris metastasis is reported. A 31-year-old woman developed glaucoma secondary to a metastatic tumor to the iris. Anti-glaucoma medication failed to control the increase in intraocular pressure (IOP). However, diode laser cyclophotocoagulation controll...

Zusammenfassung:	Management of a case of glaucoma secondary to an iris metastasis is reported. A 31-year-old woman developed glaucoma secondary to a metastatic tumor to the iris. Anti-glaucoma medication failed to control the increase in intraocular pressure (IOP). However, diode laser cyclophotocoagulation controlled the IOP. Glaucoma secondary to an iris metastasis is difficult to manage. Diode laser cyclophotocoagulation is effective in controlling the increase in IOP without affecting visual acuity.
