Micropulse Laser Trabeculoplasty (532nm) Versus Conventional Laser Trabeculoplasty (532nm)

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Open Angle Glaucoma
• Interventions: Procedure: lasertrabeculoplasty

• Registration Number: NCT01788319
• Lead Sponsor: Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven

Brief Summary

This study will investigate if micropulse laser trabeculoplasty (532nm) is as effecttive as or better than the conventional laser trabeculoplasty (532nm), it might be a new treatment strategy for glaucoma patients. It is done with a laser device that can also be used for many other ophthalmic applications, thus reducing the economic burden of treatment.
