Effectiveness and safety of VISULAS^® green selective laser trabeculoplasty: a prospective, interventional multicenter clinical investigation.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) with the SLT mode of the VISULAS^® green laser in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).

Methods

This prospective, interventional multicenter clinical investigation included patients with POAG who either needed a treatment escalation because the individual intraocular pressure (IOP) target was not met or treatment initiation and had an IOP ≥ 17 mmHg at baseline in the study eye. The study was conducted in five research centers across Germany. Approximately 100 laser applications were delivered to 360° of the trabecular meshwork. Glaucoma medications were not modified during the 3-month follow-up to allow evaluation of the sole effect of VISULAS^® green wit
