Selective laser trabeculoplasty reduces mean IOP and IOP variation in normal tension glaucoma patients
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in normal tension glaucoma (NTG) patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective review was performed of NTG patients who had undergone SLT at the Duke University Eye Center between 12/2002 and 7/2005. For each eye of each patient at pre-laser and post-laser time points, the IOP measurements were summarized by mean, standa...
متن کاملDetecting IOP Fluctuations in Glaucoma Patients
Lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) remains the guiding principle of glaucoma management. Although IOP is the only treatable risk factor, its 24-hour behavior is poorly understood. Current glaucoma management usually relies on single IOP measurements during clinic hours, even though IOP is a dynamic parameter with rhythms dependent on individual patients. It has further been shown that most gla...
متن کاملPredictors of Success in Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty for Normal Tension Glaucoma
To determine the predictors of success for selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in normal tension glaucoma (NTG). This prospective cohort study recruited subjects with unilateral or bilateral NTG on medication. All subjects received a single session of 360° SLT treatment. SLT success was defined as IOP reduction≥20% at 1-month. The following covariates were analyzed via univariate and multivar...
متن کاملTwenty-Four-Hour Intraocular Pressure Related Changes Following Adjuvant Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty for Normal Tension Glaucoma
To investigate intraocular pressure (IOP) related patterns before and after selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) for normal tension glaucoma (NTG).In this prospective cohort study, 18 NTG patients underwent SLT. Success was defined as IOP reduction ≥ 20% by Goldmann applanation tonometry. 24-hour IOP-related pattern recording with a contact lens sensor (CLS) (SENSIMED Triggerfish, Sensimed, Sw...
متن کاملEfficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty for normal tension glaucoma: 1 year results
BACKGROUND Normal tension glaucoma (NTG) is commonly treated with anti-glaucoma medications. Recently, selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) has been demonstrated to lower the intraocular pressure (IOP) and medication use in NTG. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a single session of SLT for NTG at 1 year. METHODS This prospective cohort study recruited NTG patients ...
