Purpose: This study examined whether short-term use of topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) or steroid therapy affected the efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT).

Design: Double-masked, randomized, placebo-controlled, dual-center, multisurgeon trial.

Participants: Patients older than 18 years with intraocular pressure (IOP) of more than 18 mmHg for whom the clinician decided SLT was the appropriately indicated therapy were randomized to 1 of 3 groups in a ratio of 1:1:1 as follows: ketorolac 0.

Purpose: We compared retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) bias and imprecision among three spectral-domain optical coherence tomographs (SD-OCT).

Methods: A total of 152 eyes of 83 subjects (96 healthy and 56 glaucomatous eyes) underwent peripapillary RNFL imaging using at least 2 of the following 3 SD-OCT devices on the same day: Cirrus HD-OCT (optic nerve head [ONH]) cube 200 × 200 protocol), RTVue-100 (ONH protocol [12 radial lines and 13 concentric circles]), and 3D OCT-1000 (3D Scan 256 × 256 protocol). Calibration equations, bias and imprecision of RNFL measurements were calculated using structural equation models.
