ECP & Micropulse Laser Explained | Glaucoma Laser Surgery Options | MIGS Made Clear Part 5
Learn how laser-based glaucoma procedures reduce intraocular pressure by targeting aqueous production and outflow pathways.
In this episode of MIGS Made Clear, Dr. Constance Okeke explains how ECP (endocyclophotocoagulation) and micropulse laser treatments work.
This video covers:
• how ECP reduces aqueous production
• how micropulse laser differs from traditional cyclophotocoagulation
• safety considerations with laser-based glaucoma procedures
• where laser fits within glaucoma treatment strategy
