Efficacy of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty Targeting Nasal Versus Inferior 180-degree
The purpose of this study to optimize Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) application when used in the management of open angle glaucoma (OAG)
• Age 18 years and older
• Ability to comprehend the study procedures and agreement to proceed with primary SLT treatment
• Diagnosis of primary or secondary open angle glaucoma or glaucoma suspects with ocular hypertension
• Bilateral disease
• Pre-SLT IOP \>21 mmHg measured at least twice during patient's lifetime with or without medication
• Open angles with moderate to intense trabecular pigmentation
• Mild to moderate visual field defects (24-2 standard mean deviations better than the Swedish interactive thresholding algorithm standard of 12 dB)
• No adequate IOP control (low treatment compliance, substantial adverse effects with eyedrops, and at least 2 IOP measurements higher than the individualized target IOP)
