The transscleral approach has the advantages of being noninvasive and relatively quick and easy, but the disadvantages of unpredictable results and a high complication rate. Transpupillary cyclophotocoagulation has fewer complications, but is only possible in a small number of eyes. The intraocular intraocular route is a newer technique, which utilises endophotocoagulation through a pars plana incision to treat ciliary processes in aphakic eyes.
