Efficacy of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty in Patients Under Treatment With Topical Prostaglandines

January 5, 2015 updated by: University of Zurich

Retrospective analysis of efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty in patients under treatment with topical prostaglandins compared to patients without topical prostaglandins is performed.

Inclusion criterion are patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension, who underwent treatment with selective laser trabeculoplasty due to insufficient control of intraocular pressure during their routine treatment at the University Hospital Zurich / Division of Ophthalmology.
