Laser trabeculoplasty
A trabeculoplasty is a modification of the trabecular meshwork. Laser trabeculoplasty (LTP) is the application of a laser beam to burn areas of the trabecular meshwork, located near the base of the iris, to increase fluid outflow. LTP is used in the treatment of various open-angle glaucomas.[8] The two types of laser trabeculoplasty are argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) and selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT).
As its name suggests, argon laser trabeculoplasty uses an argon laser to create tiny burns on the trabecular meshwork.[9] Selective laser trabeculoplasty is newer technology that uses a Nd:YAG laser to target specific cells within the trabecular meshwork and create less thermal damage than ALT
He also read fine print at six inches, again indicating that his previous failure was due, not to any fault of the eyes, but to a strain to see. 1. 4. If it was elongated to start with, it may pass Fig. Even the total blindness which sometimes results, temporarily, from looking at the sun, is only an illusion.
