Micropulse Laser Trabeculoplasty (532nm) Versus Conventional Laser Trabeculoplasty (532nm)

Micropulse Laser Trabeculoplasty (532nm) Versus Conventional Laser Trabeculoplasty (532nm) in Open Angle Glaucoma Patients

This study will investigate if micropulse laser trabeculoplasty (532nm) is as effecttive as or better than the conventional laser trabeculoplasty (532nm), it might be a new treatment strategy for glaucoma patients. It is done with a laser device that can also be used for many other ophthalmic applications, thus reducing the economic burden of treatment.
