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 ...
متن کاملUltrastructural 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 ...
متن کاملMonocyte modulation of aqueous outflow and recruitment to the trabecular meshwork following selective laser trabeculoplasty.
OBJECTIVES To determine whether selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) induces monocyte recruitment to the trabecular meshwork (TM) in human and monkey eyes and whether monocytes increase both aqueous outflow in vivo and the conductivity of human Schlemm canal endothelial cells (SCEs) in vitro. METHODS Monocyte recruitment was examined morphometrically in control human and monkey eyes and comp...
متن کاملLaser trabeculoplasty induces stromelysin expression by trabecular juxtacanalicular cells.
PURPOSE The mechanism by which laser trabeculoplasty reduces elevated intraocular pressure in primary open-angle glaucoma has been established. To test the hypothesis that trabecular extracellular matrix turnover is involved, stromelysin expression after laser treatment of anterior segment organ cultures was evaluated. METHODS Argon laser trabeculoplasty, using typical clinical treatment para...
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...
