    Micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TSCPC) effectively reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) in refractory glaucoma cases.

  • 2

    The study aimed to evaluate the correlation between mid-term aqueous flare levels and IOP reduction after MP-TSCPC.

  • 3

    A total of 25 patients with measurable aqueous flare values were included in the retrospective analysis.

  • 4

    Postoperative flare measurements were taken at multiple time points, and IOP was primarily measured using Goldmann applanation tonometry.

  • 5

    The findings suggest a potential association between sustained flare elevation and IOP reduction during the mid-term follow-up.
