Immediate 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 کاملRacial Differences in Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty Efficacy
AIM Sub-Saharan Africa has a population of 1 billion, with one ophthalmologist per million people. Basic ophthalmic support services are virtually absent for all but a few urban populations. Minimally invasive laser treatment may help. This study reports our initial experience using selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in a mixed-racial population of adult glaucoma patients in Durban, South Af...
متن کاملSelective laser trabeculoplasty after canaloplasty improves the efficacy of intraocular pressure reduction in eyes with open angle glaucoma.
Purpose: To assess the impact of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) after Canaloplasty in reducing the intraocular pressure (IOP) among patients with open angle glaucoma. Methods: In this case series study, eyes with open angle glaucoma were first operated with Canaloplasty. During post operative follow up, SLT was done as an additional intervention. Post operative assessment of IOP was done...
متن کاملThe effects of selective laser trabeculoplasty and travoprost on circadian intraocular pressure fluctuations
BACKGROUND To compare the effect of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) and travoprost on 24-hour IOP fluctuations in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). METHODS Sixty eyes were included. Sixteen and 14 eyes of POAG patients were randomized to receive 360° SLT or 0.004% travoprost, respectively. Fourteen and 16 eyes of NTG patients were randomized to receiv...
