Surgical procedure used to treat glaucoma, where an argon laser is used to create small holes in half of the trabecular meshwork to increase the flow of aqueous humor.
Surgical laser procedure done on the trabecular meshwork of the eye to increase the outflow of aqueous in the treatment of glaucoma.
A laser surgical procedure known as trabeculoplasty is employed to alleviate intraocular pressure by creating small perforations in the trabecular meshwork. This specialized surgery aims to enhance the drainage of accumulated aqueous humor, thereby reducing the elevated pressure within the eye. By utilizing laser technology to create precise openings in the trabeculum, the procedure promotes improved outflow of the aqueous humor, effectively relieving the pressure and preventing potential damage to the optic nerve. Trabeculoplasty offers a valuable therapeutic option in the management of conditions characterized by elevated intraocular pressure, such as glaucoma, and contributes to preserving visual health and mitigating associated complications.
