Effect of first-line and second-line selective laser trabeculoplasty on corneal hysteresis in patients with normal tension glaucoma: a multicenter study.
Summary
The First-line or Second-line Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (FSS) Study demonstrated that SLT is an effective and safe treatment for patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG).
Abstract
KEY MESSAGES
WHAT IS KNOWN
Corneal hysteresis (CH) reflects the viscoelastic properties of the cornea. Glaucoma patients with low CH are at increased risk for visual field progression. The First-line or Second-line Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (FSS) Study demonstrated that SLT is an effective and safe treatment for patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG).
WHAT IS NEW
Early application of SLT in patients with lower intraocular pressure (IOP) is associated with an increase in CH, along with a significant reduction in IOP.
