Re: Maleki et al.: Selective laser trabeculoplasty in controlled uveitis with steroid-induced glaucoma (Ophthalmology. 2016;123:2630-2632).

Novel Parameter of Corneal Biomechanics That Differentiate Normals From Glaucoma.

Glaucomatous eyes have a greater mean outward applanation velocity and peak distance, but shorter time to highest concavity than eyes without glaucoma.

Correlation of Intraocular Pressure Between Both Eyes After Bilateral Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty in Open-angle Glaucoma.

There is a strong and significant correlation in the IOP-lowering response to SLT between both eyes in near 80% of treated OAG subjects, whereas near 20% had an asymmetrical and inverse response to SLT between…

Developments in laser trabeculoplasty.

Further large-scale studies are necessary to evaluate the long-term benefits of these newer forms of laser trabeculoplasty. Their initial promising results offer patients with glaucoma additional treatment alternatives.

Optimal selective laser trabeculoplasty energy for maximal intraocular pressure reduction in open-angle glaucoma.

A higher SLT energy, in the range of 214.6 to 234.9 mJ, seems to be associated with an improved IOP-lowering response. Further randomized control trials with treatment stratification are needed to confirm these results.

Prospective study on the efficacy of treating normal tension glaucoma with a single session of selective laser trabeculoplasty.

A single session of SLT for NTG achieved an additional 20% reduction in IOP with 27% less medication at 6 months compared with prestudy levels while maintaining a 30% reduction from baseline IOP.
