Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Treatment, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Uncontrolled, Single Group Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study |
Official Title: | External Micropulse Diode Laser Transscleral Trabeculoplasty(EMDLT) For Severe Open Angle Glaucoma |
Estimated Enrollment: | 30 |
Study Start Date: | June 2006 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | December 2008 |
Micropulse diode laser trabeculoplasty applied through a gonioscopy len has been shown to be effective in lower the pressure for patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). We believe that applied externally, the contact diode micropulse laser will be effective in lowering intraocular pressure for patients with advance open angle glaucoma with minimal side effects
