Developments in laser trabeculoplasty.
Laser trabeculoplasty has an increasing important role in the management of glaucoma as more emphasis is placed on minimally invasive therapies. In recent years, the following laser trabeculoplasty technologies have been introduced: micropulse laser trabeculoplasty, titanium-sapphire laser trabeculoplasty and pattern scanning trabeculoplasty. These lasers help to reduce the intraocular pressure...

Using the now well established technique ALT is a safe and effective means of lowering IOP in eyes with POAG, pigmentary glaucoma, and exfoliative glaucoma though the effect diminishes with time. Pressure reduction with ALT is seldom greater than 30% and eyes with an IOP of more than 28 mm Hg are unlikely to be controlled for any length of time without additional treatment. ALT is probably most...
متن کاملSelective Laser Trabeculoplasty
Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) is a relatively recent modality for treating patients with open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Similarly to argon laser trabeculoplasty, SLT uses laser energy to target the trabecular meshwork and lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous outflow. However, although argon laser trabeculoplasty has been used successfully for several years to t...

• The doctor will put drops in your eye to numb the eye. • A special microscope (slit lamp) and lens (goniolens) are used to guide the laser beam to the canals (trabecular meshwork) where fluid drains from the eye. • The doctor makes small burns in the trabecular meshwork. • At the end of the surgery, the doctor will put drops in your eye to prevent eye pressure from rising right away. Some peo...

Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) has been shown to be safe, well tolerated, and effective in intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction as therapy in several forms of open-angle glaucoma. The preservation of trabecular meshwork (TM) architecture and the demonstrated efficacy in lowering IOP make SLT a reasonable and safe alternative to argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT). SLT may also be effective...
