Purpose: This study comparatively analyzed the morphology of eye tissues after laser exposure using the latest generation of transscleral laser techniques - micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TSCPC) and laser activation of scleral hydropermeability (LASH) - in an anatomical experiment.
Material And Methods: The study used pulsed-periodic radiation of an Er-glass fiber laser (λ=1.56 μm) and radiation of a diode laser (λ=0.
Purpose: This study evaluates the hypotensive effect and the outcomes of intravital morphological changes in the intervention site after laser activation of scleral hydro-permeability (LASH) by pulsed-periodic radiation from an Er-glass fiber laser (=1.56 m) in patients with advanced glaucoma.
Material And Methods: LASH surgery was performed in 19 patients (19 eyes) aged 48 to 73 years with uncompensated advanced stage (IIIb-c) glaucoma.
Purpose: The study attempted to experimentally substantiate the possibility of using the laser activation of scleral hydropermeability (LASH) technique in glaucoma treatment by morphological evaluation of treatment outcomes.
Material And Methods: The pulsed-periodic radiation from an Er-glass fiber laser (λ=1.56 μm) was used.
The article summarizes the experience of recent years in the development and implementation of novel original laser technologies used in surgery of the anterior segment of the eye. The presented technology of laser activation of scleral hydropermeability (LASH) in glaucoma is based on the effect of enhanced transscleral filtration and has been shown as effective and safe, which was confirmed by the results of a comprehensive clinical and experimental study. Development of another technique was associated with the need to improve the safety of laser interventions in anterior capsule contraction syndrome in pseudophakia, and resulted in a proposition to change the configuration of the anterior lens capsule incision from the usual linear-radial to T-shaped laser anterior capsulorhexis.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLaser cyclodestructive interventions are considered the method of choice in the treatment of refractory glaucoma. However, the traumatic nature of cyclocoagulation makes it necessary to search for more gentle methods of laser treatment. One of the possible directions is the development of laser transscleral technologies that mainly affect the uveoscleral outflow.
