Patients and Methods: Forty-five eyes of 31 patients with Open Angle Glaucoma (IOP323mmHg on two consecutive measurements) underwent selective laser trabeculo-plasty as primary treatment All patients underwent展开更多
Purpose: SLT is a frequency doubled, Nd:YAG laser used to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open angle glaucoma.

SLT selectively targets melanin-containing cells within the trabecular meshwork, leaving surrounding tissue intact Benefits of SLT over conventional ALT include markedly lower energy requirement, preservation of the trabecular meshwork architecture,展开更多
The aim of this study is to evaluate the long term efficacy of SLT in order to reduce the IOP in patients with POAG whose IOP could not be controlled by maximum tolerated medical therapy.
