Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine how MicroPulse transscleral laser therapy (MP-TLT) affects the sclera in patients with refractory glaucoma using a specific imaging technique called anterior segment-optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).
- Researchers enrolled 42 patients, measuring changes in scleral structures and intraocular pressure (IOP) before and after six months of treatment, with success defined as at least a one-third reduction in IOP.
- Results showed that although all patients experienced scleral changes, significant correlations were found between certain scleral measurements and IOP reduction, suggesting that MP-TLT may enhance fluid outflow in the eye and help lower IOP in successful cases.
Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the choroidal circulation and glaucoma, assessing macular choroidal thickness (MCT) as a predictive value of glaucomatous visual field damage.
Methods: Twenty primary open-angle glaucoma patients were recruited. Patients underwent 2 SS-OCT scans: one with DRI OCT (Topcon) and the other with PLEX Elite 9000 (Zeiss).
