Laser-Flare bei kombinierter Katarakt- und Glaukomchirurgie

Abstract

The highest flare on the first day was in combined cataract and glaucoma surgery. This may explain the more frequent scarring of the filtering bleb in combined surgery. Postoperatively the intraocular pressure and number of drugs used for glaucoma did not differ in patients with combined and single goniotrephination.

Effect of cataract surgery on intraocular pressure in eyes with previous trabeculectomy

“…This may be beneficial for very old patients or in other selected cases. A disadvantage may be that the intraocular inflammatory response induced by the breakdown of the blood-aqueous barrier may exceed the degree of this response occurring during glaucoma surgery alone [18].…”

Lasers in Ophthalmology

“…Laser therapy is used in cataract too (Baratz et al, 2001;Çinal et al, 2007;Gilbert, 2011;Hille et al, 2001;Kanellopoulos & Group, 2001;Mahdavi, 2011;Shammas & Shammas, 2007;Verge´s & Llevat, 2003). The cataract is a disease that develops in the crystalline lens of an eye.…”

“…Laser subephithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) and laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) processes are very common in laser surgery (Gilbert, 2011;Hille et al, 2001;Kanellopoulos & Group, 2001;Verge´s & Llevat, 2003). In LASEK which is the laser epithelial keratomileusis, the cornea's surface layer is treated with alcohol and peeled back to reshape the layer underneath.…”
