Selective Lasertrabeculoplasty and Ocular Hemodynamics in Glaucoma

Technische Universität Dresden150 enrolled

Overview

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) is known to reduce intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients. This study investigates, if there are changes in different ocular hemodynamic parameters prior and after SLT.

Ocular blood flow, ocular pulse amplitude and ocular pulse volume are measured with the Blood Flow Analyzer (Paradigm Medical Industries, Inc.) prior and 3 month after SLT.
