Trabecular Meshwork Gene Expression after Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty

BACKGROUND Trabecular meshwork and Schlemm's canal are the tissues appointed to modulate the aqueous humour outflow from the anterior chamber. The impairment of their functions drives to an intraocular pressure increase. The selective laser trabeculoplasty is a laser therapy of the trabecular meshwork able to decrease intraocular pressure. The exact response mechanism to this treatment has not ...

Selective 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...

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 ...

Ultrastructural Changes in Human Trabecular Meshwork Tissue after Laser Trabeculoplasty

Purpose. To compare morphologic changes in human trabecular meshwork (TM) after selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) and argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT). Design. Laboratory evaluation of ex vivo human eye TM after laser trabeculoplasty. Methods. Corneoscleral rims from human cadaver eyes were sectioned and treated with varying powers of either SLT or ALT. Specimens were examined using light ...

[Trabeculoplasty with two different lasers in cats, monkeys and humans: a scanning electron microscopy study].

PURPOSE To study the structural changes induced by trabeculoplasty with two different lasers (Ti-Sph and argon) and observe the differences between four trabecular meshwork models. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four different trabecular meshwork (TM) models were used from cats, monkeys, and humans. This study was performed on fresh cadaver eyes ("ex vivo") except for the cat in which this study was p...
