Во многих странах продолжается увеличение заболеваемости первичной открытоугольной глаукомой, а гериатрический статус пациентов ухудшается. В связи с этим актуальным является коррекция гериатрического статуса. Цель исследования - изучение гериатрического статуса пациентов, страдающих ПОУГ, после проведения селективной лазерной трабекулопластики. Результаты исследования базируются на комплексном офтальмологическом и гериатрическом обследовании до и после проведения селективной лазерной трабекулопластики. При изучении гериатрического статуса проведен анализ изменений таких гериатрических синдромов как зрительный дефицит, индекс качества жизни, депрессивный синдром. В ходе исследования установлено позитивное влияние селективной лазерной трабекулопластики на величину снижения зрительного дефицита. Так, острота зрения без коррекции и максимальная корригированная острота зрения после проведенного оперативного вмешательства повысились соответственно с 0,51±0,02 до 0,6±0,01 и с 0,62±0,02 до 0,68±0,01. Однако селективная лазерная трабекулопластика не изменила уровень депрессии, а интегральный показатель качества жизни имел тенденцию к снижению с 438,6±3,9 баллов до 429,4±3,8 баллов. Это указывает на необходимость коррекции гериатрического статуса больных с первичной открытоугольной глаукомой In many countries, the incidence of primary open-angle glaucoma continues to increase, and the geriatric status of patients is deteriorating. In this regard, the correction of geriatric status is relevant. The aim of the study was to study the geriatric status of patients suffering from POAG after selective laser trabeculoplasty. The results of the study are based on a comprehensive ophthalmological and geriatric examination before and after selective laser trabeculoplasty. When studying the geriatric status, the analysis of changes in such geriatric syndromes as visual deficit, quality of life index, and depressive syndrome was carried out. The study found a positive effect of selective laser trabeculoplasty on the reduction of visual deficit. Thus, the visual acuity without correction and the maximum corrected visual acuity after the surgical intervention increased, respectively, from 0.51±0.02 to 0.6±0.01 and from 0.62±0.02 to 0.68±0.01. However, selective laser trabeculoplasty did not change the level of depression, and the integral indicator of quality of life tended to decrease from 438.6±3.9 points to 429.4±3.8 points. This indicates the need to correct the geriatric status of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma

Purpose.To compare the efficacy of subthreshold and conventional selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in the patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).Methods.Fifty-two eyes from fifty-two POAG patients were randomized into two groups, one group treated with subthreshold SLT using two-thirds of the conventional energy and the other one treated with the conventional energy. IOP was measured with the Goldmann tonometer and the anterior chamber inflammation was determined using laser flare meter.Results.The initial energy dosage used in subthreshold SLT group was significantly lower than the amount of the energy used in conventional SLT group (0.4±0.1 mJ versus0.6±0.1 mJ,P=0.030). The total energy dosage was also significantly lower in subthreshold SLT group compared to the other group (37.6±3.3 mJ versus51.8±5.7 mJ,P=0.036). However, the level of inflammation in aqueous humor, amount of reduction in IOP, and the success rate in controlling IOP was the same in both groups.Conclusion.The efficacy of subthreshold SLT group in reducing IOP in POAG patients is comparable to the efficacy of conventional SLT group.

Purpose:  To compare the efficacy of the microwave pulse diode laser and argon laser trabeculoplasty in primary open angle glaucoma. Study Design:  Quasi experimental study. Place and Duration of Study:  Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Medical College Lyari and Sindh Government Lyari General Hospital, Karachi, from October, 2017 to March, 2018. Material and Methods:  One hundred and sixty patients, between 42 to 61 years with visual acuity of perception of light to 6/36 were enrolled. Patients diagnosed with POAG were included and patients with intraocular pressure of more than 40 mm Hg, previous glaucoma surgery or laser treatment and narrow angle on gonioscopy were excluded. Ophthalmic examination included visual acuity, slit lamp examination, fundus examination and visual field status using Humphrey perimeter. Patients were divided into two groups. Group A received microwave pulse diode laser (810) and Group B received argon laser trabeculoplasty. Average follow up period was 6 months. Success was assessed objectively by measuring intra ocular pressure and subjectively by visual acuity. Results:  The average time-period for each procedure was 15 ± 5 minutes. In Group A, mean IOP at first week, first month, third month and sixth month was 20.79, 16.34, 16.21and 16.09 mm Hg respectively. While in Group B, IOP at first week, first, third and sixth month was 16.52, 15.76, 13.62, and 12.54 mm Hg at (P < 0.001 in both groups). Conclusion:  Both microwave pulse diode laser and argon laser trabeculoplasty are effective in lowering intra ocular pressures in patients with primary open angle glaucoma.
