Intraocular Pressure-Lowering Potential of Subthreshold Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty in Patients with Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma
Purpose. To compare the efficacy of subthreshold and conventional selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in the patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Methods. Fifty-two eyes from fifty-two POAG patients were randomized into two groups, one group treated with subthreshold SLT using two-thirds of the conventional energy and the other one treated w...
متن کاملImmediate intraocular pressure response to selective laser trabeculoplasty.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Selective laser trabeculoplasty targets the pigmented trabecular meshwork cells without damage to the trabecular meshwork architecture in vitro. A study was conducted in vivo of eight eyes with uncontrolled open angle glaucoma to ascertain the immediate intraocular response to selective laser trabeculoplasty. METHODS The trabecular meshwork of each eye was treated 360 degrees ...
متن کاملIntraocular pressure rise after argon laser trabeculoplasty.
Eighty-four eyes received 107 argon laser trabeculoplasty treatments at Beth Israel Medical Center between 1982 and 1984 for advanced primary and secondary glaucoma. The prelaser mean pressure was 20.25 mmHg. Pressures taken 1 1/2 hours postoperatively varied widely: the pressure rose after 47 treatments and fell or remained the same after 60. Significant increases in pressure occurred in 10 ey...
متن کاملThe intraocular - lowering effect of selective laser trabeculoplasty in the treatment of glaucomatocyclitic crisis
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of selective laser trabeculoplasty in the treatment of patients with glaucomatocyclitic crisis. Methods: This was a retrospective case series study. 10 patients with uncontrolled intraocular pressure using maximally tolerated medical treatment were included in our study. 360o selective laser trabeculoplasty was performed during the intermission of glaucomatocycli...
متن کاملSelective laser trabeculoplasty as an initial treatment option for open-angle glaucoma.
Although eye drops are frequently used as an initial treatment option for open angle glaucoma (OAG), side effects, and poor adherence, among others, may compromise treatment efficacy. In this scenario, laser trabeculoplasty is an interesting therapeutic option for open angle glaucoma cases. Commonly used for many years as a last alternative prior to glaucoma incisional surgery, laser trabeculop...
