MicroPulse Transscleral Laser Therapy and Its Short-term Impact on Ocular Surface

"During MicroPulse TLT, all patients received periocular anesthesia, with an injection of 5 to 10 ml of Lidocaine (Xylocaine 5mg/ml ®) to achieve complete anesthesia.~The investigators employed the 810 nm Cyclo G6® Laser in its MicroPulse® mode (Iridex Corporation, Mountain View, CA, USA) and delivered laser energy to the eye using the second-generation MicroPulse P3® probe (Iridex Corporation, Mountain View, CA, USA). The laser was calibrated to generate a power output of 2500 mW, and a MicroPulse duty cycle of 31.3%. The curved end of the probe's footplate (bunny ears) was positioned 0.5 to 1 mm away from the corneoscleral limbus, maintaining a perpendicular orientation to the eyeball.~Following the laser therapy, an immediate conjunctival biopsy measuring 2 \* 2 mm and avoiding the laser-treated region was performed."
