“…2b). Although several studies have used survival curves and cumulative probabilities to assess outcome from drainage surgery, 7,10 , 23,24 such analyses may not be ideal for comparing the two treatment groups. Survival analyses are unlikely to indicate long‐term IOP success rates: IOP is often labile in the first postoperative months following drainage implant surgery, pushing IOP beyond the defined endpoints for failure in the early postoperative phase, despite achieving long‐term success.…”

“…However, cyclodiode transscleral laser has largely replaced Nd:YAG cyclophotocoagulation because of its technical ease, equivalent IOP effects 3 and lower incidence of vision‐threatening complications, 4,5 presumably owing to sparing tissue damage in the treatment region 6 . In one animal study, diode laser was found to be of similar IOP‐lowering efficacy to Mitomycin C augmented filtration surgery 7 …”

Lasers are routinely used in veterinary ophthalmology for the treatment of a number of ophthalmic conditions and diseases. In veterinary ophthalmology gas lasers and semiconductor lasers are primarily used. The most common indications for the use of diode and carbon dioxide lasers are presented and discussed. Diode lasers are primarily used in the treatment of glaucoma, either by transscleral cyclophotocoagulation or by endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation. Other indications are various forms of retinal detachments, as well as pigmented neoplasms of the uvea. An emerging field in veterinary ophthalmology is photodynamic therapy of periocular tumors. Carbon dioxide lasers are used for pars plana vitrectomies and surgical excision of ocular tumors. AbstractLasers are routinely used in veterinary ophthalmology for the treatment of a number of ophthalmic conditions and diseases. In veterinary ophthalmology, gas lasers (CO 2 lasers) and semiconductor lasers (diode lasers) are used primarily, but the therapy of posterior capsular opacifi cation with the Nd:YAG laser has also been described. This paper presents and discusses the most common indications for the use of the diode and CO 2 lasers. Diode lasers are mainly used in the treatment of glaucoma, either by transscleral cyclophotocoagulation or by endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation. Other indications are various forms of retinal detachments, as well as pigmented neoplasms of the uvea. An emerging fi eld in veterinary ophthalmology using diode lasers is photodynamic therapy of periocular tumors. CO 2 lasers are used for pars plana vitrectomies and surgical excision of ocular tumors.Keywords: diode laser; carbon dioxide laser; ophthalmic surgery; animal . ZusammenfassungLaser werden in der Veterin ä r-Ophthalmologie zur Behandlung unterschiedlicher Augenver ä nderungen und -erkrankungen regelm ä ß ig eingesetzt. Es kommen haupts ä chlich Gas (CO 2 )-und Halbleiterlaser (Diodenlaser) zur Anwendung, aber auch der Nd:YAG-Laser wird eingesetzt, bspw. zur Therapie des Nachstars (posterior capsular opacifi cation, PCO). Im vorliegenden Artikel werden die h ä ufi gsten Indikationen zur Verwendung von Dioden-und CO 2 -Lasern vorgestellt und diskutiert. Diodenlaser werden haupts ä chlich zur Therapie des Glaukoms eingesetzt, sei es mittels transskleraler oder mittels endoskopischer Zyklophotokoagulation. Andere Indikationen sind verschiedene Formen der Netzhautabl ö sung sowie pigmentierte Tumoren der Uvea. Ein neu aufkommendes Einsatzgebiet f ü r Diodenlaser ist die photodynamische Therapie von periokul ä ren Tumoren. CO 2 -Laser werden in erster Linie f ü r die Pars-plana-Vitrektomie beim Pferd und zur Exzision von Tumoren verwendet.Schl ü sselw ö rter: Diodenlaser; CO 2 -Laser; Augenchirurgie; Tier.
