Although the diode laser radiation has a propensity for melanin in the ciliary epithelium, some energy dissipates into surrounding tissues. This study aims to investigate the ocular effects of MP-TSCPC on patients with glaucoma, focusing on corneal biomechanics, endothelial cell count, and refractive outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients with open angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension were enrolled.

At six months post-MP-TSCPC, a 2% decrease in corneal endothelial cell density was noted, though not statistically significant. A modest hyperopic shift in spherical equivalent was observed at 6\u00a0months and initially reached statistical significance. However, this did not remain significant following adjustment for multiple comparisons. Three patients had a significant hypermetropic shift. There was a statistically significant increase in pupil diameter.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is the first study to review various ocular parameters following micropulse transcleral cyclophotocoagulation.
