A Randomized Trial of 180 Degree vs. 360 Degree Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty as Initial Therapy for Glaucoma

Temple University·interventional·Posted Dec 11, 2015·Updated Nov 5, 2020

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty and Neodymium:Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG) laser for Open Angle Glaucoma and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 76 participants across 2 sites.

Detailed Summary

Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) is a well-recognized way to lower eye pressure in treatment of glaucoma. This treatment is performed for 180 degrees or 360 degrees, and studies at academic centers have shown mixed results when comparing the success rates of 180 degrees or 360 degrees. Both protocols are now typically done by comprehensive ophthalmologists. However, there is no data that compares success rates of 180 degrees and 360 degrees in the community setting.

Interventions

Selective Laser Trabeculoplastyprocedure

The procedure uses light energy provided by a neodymium (Nd):Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG) laser that is directed into the iridocorneal angle via a goniolens viewed through a standard slit lamp.

Neodymium:Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG) laserdevice

The procedure uses a 400 μm spot size of light energy provided by a low-energy, Q-switched, frequency-doubled (532 nm) neodymium (Nd):Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG) laser with a short pulse duration of 3 nanoseconds that is directed into the iridocorneal angle via a goniolens viewed through a standard slit lamp.
