Original Abstract of the Article :
Laser trabeculoplasty was carried out in one eye in each of 38 patients, 37 with chronic open-angle glaucoma and 1 with low-tension glaucoma, whose visual fields were deteriorating. The patients were randomly assigned to receive 10, 50 or 100 burns. Topical therapy was stopped for 1 week before trea...See full text at original site

Laser Trabeculoplasty: A Treatment for Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide, characterized by damage to the optic nerve. This research investigated the effectiveness of laser trabeculoplasty in lowering intraocular pressure in one eye of 38 patients with chronic open-angle glaucoma. The study found that laser trabeculoplasty, particularly with 50 or 100 burns, significantly reduced intraocular pressure in patients whose visual fields were deteriorating.
