Selective Lasertrabeculoplasty and Ocular Hemodynamics in Glaucoma

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Glaucoma

• Registration Number: NCT01363362
• Lead Sponsor: Technische Universität Dresden

Brief Summary

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) is known to reduce intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients. This study investigates, if there are changes in different ocular hemodynamic parameters prior and after SLT.

Detailed Description

Ocular blood flow, ocular pulse amplitude and ocular pulse volume are measured with the Blood Flow Analyzer (Paradigm Medical Industries, Inc.) prior and 3 month after SLT.
