Corneal edema and keratitis following selective laser trabeculoplasty
Purpose To describe three cases of keratitis following Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT). Observations Three females with a history of glaucoma presented with corneal edema, keratitis (endothelial, epithelial) and decreased visual acuity shortly after SLT. There was variable resolution of symptoms after starting treatment with oral antiherpetics and topical steroids. Conclusions and imp...
متن کاملHerpetic Stromal Keratitis following Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty
This is a case report describing two cases of disciform corneal edema following uncomplicated selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) thought to be secondary to herpes simplex virus (HSV) given the presence of a dendrite, decreased corneal sensation, corneal thinning, and response to therapy with oral and topical antivirals. Corneal edema after SLT treatment has been reported before, but the etio...
متن کاملCorneal Decompensation after Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty
A 64-year-old Caucasian man referred for decreased vision after selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT). Slit lamp examination revealed diffuse corneal edema. Despite intensive topical treatment including steroids, corneal edema did not resolve; on the contrary, it advanced to bullous keratopathy. Corneal edema after SLT is an exceptionally rare complication and in all of the previous reports ede...
متن کاملCorneal Thinning and Opacity following Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty: A Case Report
Aims: Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) (Lumenis, Santa Clara, CA) was developed in 1999 as a means to lower IOP in patients with glaucoma. It is a relatively safe procedure. We report a rare side effect of corneal opacity and stromal haze with corneal thinning and hyperopic shift following SLT. Presentation of Case: Case report. Results: A 50 year-old Asian male who underwent SLT OD develo...
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...
