DSLT Performance in Treatment-naïve Patients With Newly Diagnosed Open Angle Glaucoma

How Does First Line Treatment With DSLT Perform in Treatment-naïve Patients With Newly Diagnosed Primary Open Angle Glaucoma

DSLT demonstrates a ≥ 20% reduction of IOP from pre-treatment baseline in POAG patients naïve of previous glaucoma treatment at 12 months.

DSLT enables newly diagnosed patients to remain well controlled and off medications

Inclusion Criteria:

• Primary open angle glaucoma
• Patients age 30 or greater with an IOP of 18-26 mmHg
• Mild to moderate POAG patients (mild or moderate according to the AAO PPP Guidelines)
• DSLT procedure

Exclusion Criteria:

• History of prior glaucoma treatment - this includes past medication use (in either eye), previous lasers or incisional surgery
• Angle closure patients
• Ocular Hypertension
• Baseline VF MD of worse than -12dB
• Uncontrolled systemic microvascular disease (eg. HTN, DM)
• Subjects with peri-limbal findings (e.g. melanosis, tumors, extensive pterygium, significant senile arcus and pterygium)
