Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty, pulsatile ocular blood flow
Brief summary
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.
Detailed description
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.
Interventions
360° selective laser trabeculoplasty, 100 non-overlapping spots, energy 0,5-1,2 mJ
