    Laser trabeculoplasty did not improve visual fields in glaucoma patients, even with good intraocular pressure control. This study evaluated the treatment

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Glaucoma research
    • Surgical interventions

    Background:

    • Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness.
    • Laser trabeculoplasty is a common procedure to lower intraocular pressure in glaucoma.
    • The impact of laser trabeculoplasty on visual field defects requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the efficacy of laser trabeculoplasty in improving visual field defects in glaucoma patients.
    • To evaluate the relationship between intraocular pressure regulation and visual field outcomes after laser trabeculoplasty.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 23 eyes with glaucomatous field defects underwent laser trabeculoplasty.
    • Intraocular pressure was measured using applanation tonometry before and after treatment.

  • Computerized perimetry was performed pre- and post-treatment to assess visual field status.

    • Main Results:

    • Satisfactory intraocular pressure regulation was achieved in the treated eyes.
    • No significant improvement in visual field defects was observed one month after laser trabeculoplasty.
    • The treatment did not demonstrate a favorable influence on the visual field outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Laser trabeculoplasty may effectively control intraocular pressure but does not appear to reverse or improve established glaucomatous visual field defects.
    • Further research is needed to explore alternative or adjunctive treatments for visual field preservation in glaucoma.
