2. Glaucoma surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaucoma_surgery

   Glaucoma is a group of diseases affecting the optic nerve that results in vision loss and is frequently characterized by raised intraocular pressure (IOP). There are many glaucoma surgeries, and variations or combinations of those surgeries, that facilitate the escape of excess aqueous humor from the eye to lower intraocular pressure, and a few that lower IOP by decreasing the production of ...

3. Trabeculoplasty - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabeculoplasty

   Trabeculoplasty is a laser treatment for glaucoma. It is done on an argon laser equipped slit lamp, using a Goldmann gonioscope lens mirror. Specifically, an argon laser is used to improve drainage through the eye's trabecular meshwork, from which the aqueous humour drains. This helps reduce intraocular pressure caused by open-angle glaucoma. [1]

4. Cyclodestruction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclodestruction

   Cyclodestruction or cycloablation is a surgical procedure done in management of glaucoma. Cyclodestruction reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) of the eye by decreasing production of aqueous humor by the destruction of ciliary body. Until the development of safer and less destructive techniques like micropulse diode cyclophotocoagulation and ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaucoma

   Argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) may be used to treat open-angle glaucoma, but this is a temporary solution, not a cure. A 50-μm argon laser spot is aimed at the trabecular meshwork to stimulate the opening of the mesh to allow more outflow of aqueous fluid.

7. Schlemm's canal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlemm's_canal

   Laser trabeculoplasty (LTP) is the application of a laser beam to burn areas of the trabecular meshwork, located near the base of the iris, to increase fluid outflow. LTP is used in the treatment of various open-angle glaucomas. [12] The two types of laser trabeculoplasty are Argon Laser Trabeculoplasty (ALT) and Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty ...
