Procedure

Patterned Laser Trabeculoplasty (PLT)
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT)

The total duration of laser treatment is approximately 10 minutes.

Regarding selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), a drop of Brimonidine will be instilled into the eye to be treated 15 minutes prior to the procedure. Topical anaesthesia will be administered and the Latina SLT lens and coupling fluid will be used for the procedure. The slit-lamp attached to the laser will be focused on the full height of the trabecular meshwork. The laser power will be set to 0.6mJ and increased in 0.1mJ steps until small champagne –like bubbles appear from the treated area of the trabecular meshwork.Approximately 50-60 non-overlapping shots will be placed onto at least 180 degrees of the trabecular meshwork that is visible and without PAS. More non-overlapping shots can be placed if sufficient extent of the trabeculum is visible.A second laser treatment targeting the same previously treated area of the meshwork can be done at the 1 or 4 week follow up visit if the IOP returns to pretreatment levels.

Patterned laser trabeculoplasty has a therapeutic wavelength of 532nm and a spot size of 100 µm. Power is titrated using a single spot to achieve light trabecular meshwork blanching with 10-ms laser pulses in the inferior segment of the eye. After titration the power is maintained but the pulse duration is reduced to 5ms, and a predetermined pattern of laser spots are used. Laser beams are directed on the trabecular meshwork for 180-360 degrees. The total duration of laser treatment is approximately 10 minutes.

Intraocular pressure will be measured with Goldmann applanation tonometry at baseline, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months, 9 months and 1 year after PLT or SLT treatment.

The density of cataract will be assessed with the Lens Opacity Classification System III (LOCS III) with standard color photographs as the reference for grading of lens opacity. Progression in lens opacity was defined as an increase in LOCS III grade by 2 or more units in any lens region.
