About this study

This study evaluates the efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty after a failed combined procedure of phacoemulsification cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation plus Eximer Laser Trabeculectomy in open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The success of SLT will be determined by the intraocular pressure and number of hypotensive drugs.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • diagnosis of open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension
  • and diagnosis of cataract

Exclusion criteria

  • diagnosis of angle closure glaucoma
  • any optic neuropathy other than glaucoma

Treatment and study plan

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty

Procedure

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty is a laser treatment procedure to enhance trabecular aequous humor outflow and thus decrease intraocular pressure.

Primary outcomes

  1. Efficacy intraocular pressure

    Time frame: t0 and t=12 month

    Efficacy as measured by decrease in intraocular pressure from baseline

  2. Efficacy medication

    Time frame: t0 and t=12 month

    as measured by decrease in number of used hypotensive medications

Secondary outcomes

  1. Efficacy visual acuity

    Time frame: t0 and t=12 month

    Efficacy as increase in best corrected visual acuity
