Cirrus HD-OCT provides excellent intrasession intra- and interoperator repeatability of the RNFL measurements, especially of the average RNFL thickness in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients and POAG suspects with early glaucomatous visual field defect. The measurement error (expressed as within-subject coefficient of variation) of RNFL measurements by Cirrus HD-OCT is much lower than the error of HRT3 measurements of stereometric parameters of the optic nerve head and RNFL.
Results are presented of a combined laser treatment method of advanced primary open-angle glaucoma stagewith high trabecular meshwork pigmentation in anterior chamber angle and pseudoexfoliation syndrome stage 2, after non-penetrating deep sclerectomy at recurrent IOP increase in the post-op period. The laser treatment included a single-step modified selective laser activation of the trabeculum and a laser Descemet’s goniopuncture. The study results demonstrated more significant IOP-lowering effect as well as the integrity of surgically-formed aqueous humor outflow pathways during a follow-up period of 24 months compared with controls, in whom only classical Descemet’s goniopuncture (DGP) method was used.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
