研究目的
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of double-session micropulse transscleral laser (MP3) as a primary treatment modality for glaucoma.
研究成果
Double-session MP3 therapy could be considered as a safe and effective procedure to treat glaucoma in eyes that have not undergone any previous glaucoma surgery. Primary eyes achieved a success-rate similar to those with refractory glaucoma with fewer MP3 procedures and fewer glaucoma medications.
研究不足
The retrospective nature of the study and the absence of a rigid protocol with well-established criteria to determine the time of MP3 application in the double-session technique according to each case are the main limitations of this study. Additionally, it is possible that the milder forms of subclinical mydriasis may have been missed.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Retrospective study evaluating the safety and effectiveness of double-session micropulse transscleral laser (MP3) therapy in glaucoma patients.
