The application of micropulse transscleral contact-compression diode-laser cyclocoagulation for emergency reduction of intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Glaucoma was and remains one of the most relevant problems of ophthalmology. The percentage of blindness and low vision as a result of glaucoma remains stable and does not tend to decrease.1 Despite modern advances in drug therapy for glaucoma, in many cases, only laser and surgical treatment makes it possible to achieve a stable normalization of intraocular pressure and stabilize visual functions, and for so-called refractory glaucoma, laser surgery is generally a method of choice. In recent years, the arsenal of methods for the treatment of glaucoma has expanded due to the use of modern semiconductor lasers for transscleral cyclocoagulation.2,3
