Short-term efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty in mani eyes with glaucoma: A single institutional study
Clinical Ophthalmology Sep 17, 2020
Al Busaidi A, Shenoy K, Panchatcharam S, et al. - Researchers conducted this retrospective review to evaluate the short-term effectiveness, safety, and nature of the outcome of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in Omani eyes. The sample consisted of patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension who had a single session of 360-degree SLT between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2018. In total, 33 eyes of 33 Omani patients who had treatment with SLT have been analyzed. The nature of laser response followed a gradual pattern as the mean IOP decline from baseline was 20.2% at 5 weeks and further enhanced to 27.2% at 12 weeks. SLT's short-term success in Omani eyes was clinically relevant and comparable to the gradual pattern seen in Indian ancestry patients. In selective Omani eyes, it is a safe therapeutic choice.
