Polymegathism, Pleomorphism, and Endothelial Cell Count after Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty
The purpose of the study was to investigate the changes in the endothelial cell count and cell’s polymegathism and pleomorphism after selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in open-angle glaucoma (OAG). SLT has been performed on 18 patients (22 eyes). Each patient underwent confocal microscopy 1 h prior to the laser surgery and then 1 h, 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month after SLT. The obtained microgr...
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 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...
متن کاملSelective laser trabeculoplasty.
Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) has been shown to be safe, well tolerated, and effective in intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction as therapy in several forms of open-angle glaucoma. The preservation of trabecular meshwork (TM) architecture and the demonstrated efficacy in lowering IOP make SLT a reasonable and safe alternative to argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT). SLT may also be effective...
متن کاملSelective Laser Trabeculoplasty: An Overview
Given the obvious quality of life concerns with medical and surgical lowering of intraocular pressure (IOP), lasers have received considerable attention as a therapeutic modality for glaucoma. Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) is increasingly being used in clinical practice as both the primary procedure and as an adjunct to medical and surgical therapy. Preliminary published evidence sugges...
