13 maj 2020 · Argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) was once the gold standard laser treatment for open-angle glaucoma (OAG), but it is poorly suited to repeat treatments because of significant coagulative damage and disruption to the trabecular meshwork architecture. 2, 3 Latina et al 4 first described
16 maj 2023 · Laser trabeculoplasty, the application of a laser beam to the trabecular meshwork to improve outflow facility, was introduced in 1972. Argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) was introduced in 1973 and became the predominant type of laser trabeculoplasty for several decades.
28 lut 2024 · Abstract. Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) has experienced a resurgence in interest, primarily driven by promising findings from the Laser in Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension Trial.
Argon laser intraocular photocoagulation is now available during vitreous surgery, to treat retinal breaks and to give panretinal photocoagulation. Twenty patients, including phakic patients with gasfilled eyes, were treated using a new operative contact lens without complication.
Abstract: Argon laser intraocular photocoagulation is now available during vitreous surgery, to treat retinal breaks and to give panretinal photocoagulation.
26 lip 2023 · The mechanism of argon laser retinal photocoagulation (ALRP) treatment is to apply thermal-induced retinal pigment epithelium damage. Light passes through the anterior optical segments of the eye to reach the retina.
7 kwi 2014 · Open angle glaucoma as primary treatment or as an adjunct to medical therapy. Efficacy. The glaucoma laser trial 1 showed that argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) was at least as effective as initial treatment with timolol maleate 0.5 % and the procedure gained popularity in the 1990s.
