研究目的
To prospectively examine the effects of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) on the anterior chamber angle (ACA) and its related parameters using anterior segment-optic coherence tomography (AS-OCT).
研究成果
SLT resulted in an increase in ACA, AOD and TISA when evaluated using AS-OCT. We think that this study provides a different perspective concerning the effects of SLT in the angle region and the involved mechanism.
研究不足
The most important limitation of our study is that it does not have a control group.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study included fifty eyes of fifty patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and ocular hypertension. AS-OCT was performed before SLT application, immediately after and at 1 day and 1 month.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Eyes of volunteers aged over 18, with no previous history of intraocular surgery, SLT, iridoplasty, or iridectomy, were included following the receipts of the consent forms.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
AS-OCT (NIDEK RS-3000, NIDEK Co. Ltd, Japan), LIGHTLas SLT Deux SLT/YAG Combination Laser (Lightmed), Carbomer Gel (Viscotears, Novartis Pharma AG, Basel, Switzerland).
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
One-hundred-shot SLT was applied by increasing the power by
5：1 mJ/pulse until bubbles formed in the region exposed to the laser at a 360° trabecular mesh, 400 μm spot size, 3 ns duration and an initial power of 6 mJ/pulse. Data Analysis Methods:
Statistical calculations between two dependent groups were performed using the t test. P values < 0.05 and < 0.001 were regarded as statistically significant.
