Zusammenfassung

Die Lasertrabekuloplastik ist eine einfache und komplikationsarme Behandlung eines Offenwinkelglaukoms oder einer okulären Hypertension. Zur Durchführung einer Lasertrabekuloplastik stehen derzeit verschiedene Lasersysteme zur Verfügung, die den Augeninnendruck senken. Die wichtigsten Komplikationen sind passagere Augeninnendrucksteigerungen, eine Begleitiritis oder vordere Synechierungen.

Abstract

Laser trabeculoplasty is a simple method for treating glaucoma and ocular hypertension and has few adverse effects. There are different laser systems for reducing the intraocular pressure of patients with glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Complications include transient intraocular pressure elevation, iritis, and anterior synechiae.
