- Original description
Glaucoma is a common eye disease that can lead to blindness. The only known way to reduce the rate of disease progression is by reducing the pressure in the eye (the intraocular pressure, IOP). Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) is an ophthalmic laser intervention with the purpose of reducing the IOP.Read full original descriptionShow less
Optimal Treatment Protocol for Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty - Repeat Trial
Glaucoma is a common eye disease that can lead to blindness. The only known way to reduce the rate of disease progression is by reducing the pressure in the eye (the intraocular pressure, IOP). Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) is an ophthalmic laser intervention with the purpose of reducing the IOP.
SLT can be performed in different ways, with four of the treatment protocols being evaluated in the Optimal SLT (OSLT) trial.
SLT is a repeatable procedure, but scientific evidence is scarce regarding more than one repetition. In this trial, patients included in the OSLT trial will be invited to the extended trial (OSLT-R), for further follow-up and re-treatment with SLT, if needed.
Inclusion: Included in the OSLT trial; Followed up without the need for other treatment escalation than repeat SLT.
Exclusion: Unable to participate in follow up due to health conditions, strength or physical location.
