Continuous‐wave cyclophotocoagulation (CW‐CPC) is often preferred to medical and surgical treatments for managing refractory glaucoma. This review summarizes diode CW‐CPC indications, history, histopathology, methods, efficacy and safety. It also provides an overview of the latest data available on micropulse transscleral laser treatment (MP‐TLT) that uses repetitive micropulses of diode laser energy in an off‐and‐on cyclical fashion.
