Ab Interno Sclerostomy With a High-Powered Argon Endolaser

Internal sclerostomy with laser: A new approach to glaucoma surgery

“…Histologically, there was less inflammation in the laser-treated group, indicating less episcleral and conjunctival reaction, which might result in less scarring and bleb failure. Jaffe et al described the successful application of high-power argon laser delivered through a 300-pm quartz fiberoptic probe in rabbits [16] and in a human eye [lo]. In the human eye, six shots of a 8.0 W with an exposure time of 0.1 sec were required to achieve a through-and-through sclerostomy.…”

Treatment outcomes of modified argon laser photocoagulation for conjunctivochalasis

“…It has been used in many types of intraocular and extraocular surgeries due to its convenience, effectiveness, and safety, such as conjunctival nevus removal, iridotomy, trabeculoplasty, and retinal photocoagulation. [9–11] Shin et al [12] recently suggested using the argon laser procedure to treat CCh because they observed conjunctival shrinkage after applying the argon laser. Yang and Choi [13] also reported that argon laser photocoagulation successfully corrected CCh by shrinking the redundant conjunctiva.…”
