Проведен ретроспективный анализ результатов лечения 33 пациентов (22 мужчины, 11 женщин, средний возраст 72,4 года) с неконтролируемой первичной открытоугольной глаукомой на фоне максимально переносимой гипотензивной терапии. ТЛЦТ выполняли под местной анестезией до 16 аппликаций в режиме 0,5 Вт в течение 20 с. Толщина ресничного тела оценивалась с использованием оптической когерентной томографии (CASIA2, Tomey, Япония) до операции и на 1-е сутки после нее. В этот же срок фиксировалось наличие опалесценции водянистой влаги. Внутриглазное давление (ВГД) измерялось тонометрией по Маклакову, фиксировался режим инстилляций до операции и через 1, 3, 6 и 12 месяцев. Успех лечения определялся как снижение ВГД на 20 % и более начиная с 1 месяца. </p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Среднее снижение ВГД через 12 месяцев составило 8,8 ± 3,9 мм рт. ст., что соответствовало 23,8 % (p &lt; 0,001). Успех лечения достигнут у 24 пациентов (72,7 %). Видимая опалесценция водянистой влаги на 1-е сутки выявлена у 24 пациентов (72,7 %) и положительно коррелировала с более выраженным снижением ВГД (p = 0,008, r = 0,72). Толщина ресничного тела значимо увеличивалась на 1-е сутки послеоперационного периода (p &lt; 0,0001), причем динамика этого показателя отражала наличие сильной положительной корреляции со снижением ВГД (r = 0,86, p &lt; 0,05). </p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Ранние послеоперационные признаки внутриглазного воспаления и отека ресничного тела могут служить надежными предикторами эффективности ТЛЦТ. Наличие опалесценции водянистой влаги и увеличение толщины ресничного тела на 1-е сутки ассоциируются с более высокой вероятностью достижения стойкого гипотензивного эффекта в течение первого месяца. Указанные параметры могут быть рекомендованы для раннего прогноза исходов лечения пациентов с первичной открытоугольной глаукомой.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Objectives</title><p>Objectives: to evaluate the prognostic significance of early postoperative inflammatory response parameters, namely visible aqueous</p><p>humor opalescence and ciliary body thickness increase, for the effectiveness of transscleral laser cyclothermotherapy (TLCTT) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma. </p></sec><sec><title>Patients and methods</title><p>Patients and methods. A retrospective analysis included 33 patients (22 men, 11 women; mean age 72.4 years) with uncontrolled primary open-angle glaucoma despite maximally tolerated hypotensive therapy. TLCTT was performed under local anesthesia with up to 16 applications delivered in the mode of 0.5 W for 20 s. Optical coherence tomography (CASIA2, Tomey, Japan) was used to assess ciliary body thickness before surgery and on postoperative day 1. Presence of aqueous humor opalescence was also recorded on day 1. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured by Maklakov tonometry, and topical regimen was documented preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Treatment success was defined as IOP reduction ≥ 20 % starting from 1 month.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. Mean IOP reduction at 12 months was 8.8 ± 3.9 mmHg, corresponding to 23.8 % (p &lt; 0.001). Treatment success was achieved in 24 patients (72.7 %). Visible aqueous humor opalescence on day 1 was observed in 24 patients (72.7 %) and correlated positively with greater IOP reduction (p = 0.008, r = 0.72). Ciliary body thickness increased significantly on day 1 postoperatively (p &lt; 0.0001). The dynamics of thickness increase showed a strong positive correlation with IOP reduction (r = 0.86, p &lt; 0.05). </p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. Early postoperative signs of intraocular inflammation and ciliary body edema can serve as reliable predictors of TLCTT effectiveness. Visible aqueous humor opalescence and increased ciliary body thickness on day 1 are associated with higher likelihood of achieving a sustained hypotensive effect within 1 month. These parameters may be recommended for early prediction of treatment outcomes in patients undergoing TLCTT for primary open-angle glaucoma.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>транссклеральная лазерная циклотермотерапия</kwd><kwd>первичная открытоугольная глаукома</kwd><kwd>толщина ресничного тела</kwd><kwd>предикторы эффективности</kwd><kwd>гипотензивный эффект</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>transscleral laser cyclothermotherapy</kwd><kwd>primary open-angle glaucoma</kwd><kwd>ciliary body thickness</kwd><kwd>predictors of effectiveness</kwd><kwd>hypotensive effect</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Heijl A, Leske MC, Bengtsson B, Hyman L, Bengtsson B, Hussein M.
