Cyclo-G6 laser with a G-probe delivery system (Iridex, Silicon Valley, CA, USA). Materials and Methods: 134 patients (134 eyes) with refractory glaucoma were included in this study. Patients received transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCPC) using the IRIDEX Cyclo-G6 diode laser equipped with a G-probe delivery system. The eyes were treated with 1250–1500 mW for 3500–4000 ms depending on the iris colour. Intraocular pressure (IOP) and the count of antiglaucoma medications (AGM) were documented at the initial assessment and again at 3, 6, and 12 months following the treatment. Results: A reduction in IOP was observed in 97.73% of eyes at 12 months. At 12 months, 55.97% of the 134 eyes decreased IOP under 21 mmHg. At the 3-month mark, 96.27% of eyes attained an IOP reduction in 30% or more from their initial baseline levels, 85.61% at 6 months, and 82.17% at 12 months. A reduction in AGM was recorded for 86.07% of patients at 6 months and 87.31% at 12 months. There were no instances of severe complications reported, and minor complications were observed in 3% (4 out of 134) of the treated eyes.
