Laser for Glaucoma

Definition:

Glaucoma is a disease in which the optic nerve is damaged by factors such as increased intraocular pressure (or eye pressure for short). Since the optic nerve is responsible for transmitting visual information to the brain, its damage (gradually) causes visual field defects and, if the disease is untreated and progresses, can eventually lead to complete blindness.

👈 Causes:

The most common causes are:
✅ High pressure inside the eye
✅ Age over 60
✅ Having a family history
✅ Having certain diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and severe anemia
✅ Thin cornea
✅ Having severe nearsightedness or farsightedness
✅ Injuring the eye or having certain types of eye surgery
✅ Taking corticosteroid medications, especially eye drops, for a long time

👈 Symptoms:

✅ Severe headache
✅ Eye pain
✅ Nausea and vomiting
✅ Blurred vision
✅ Red eyes
✅ Seeing halos around bright lights

👈 Laser method:

Before starting the laser treatment, the physician assistant puts special eye drops in the eye. The laser procedure is performed in a laser room. To begin, you will be asked to sit in front of a microscope. This experience is similar to the same simple clinical tests for you. The difference is that in this procedure, the laser is connected to a microscope. In the laser room, the Luminis Selecta laser is used to treat glaucoma. For the treatment of angle-closure glaucoma, a laser in the YAG mode is used, and for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma, a laser in the SLT mode (selective laser trabeculoplasty) is used. This device has the ability to treat with thermal laser (especially for the treatment of retinal problems) in which visible laser light is used.
