Purpose of the study: Evaluate the efficiency and compare results of micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation(mCPC) and trabeculectomy in treatment of patients with open-angle glaucoma of stages 1–3. Materials and methods: In our study 67 surgical interventions were performed to reduce the level of IOP. The patients were divided into two groups depending on the used surgical technique: group I (study) – 34 eyes (21 patients) which underwent micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation, group II (comparison) – 33 eyes (33 patients), trabeculectomy was performed. The groups were comparable in terms of the main indicators affecting the final treatment outcome. During the period of observation the level of intraocular pressure, the best corrected visual acuity, visual fields, cup-to-disc ratio and the amount of antiglaucoma drugs used were determinated.
