titleOfInvention | Methods of transverse placement in ELT |
abstract | Glaucoma patients suffer from increased intraocular pressure due to blocked fluid flow from the anterior chamber of the eye. Methods of the invention include inserting a probe into an eye of a subject having glaucoma, adjusting placement of the probe to a position transverse to Schlemm's canal in the eye, and applying a plurality of shots from an excimer laser source while the probe is in the transverse position, thereby treating glaucoma by creating a plurality of perforations in Schlemm's canal and/or the trabecular meshwork. By providing a laser probe at a position transverse to Schlemm's canal, energy from the laser is delivered to a greater amount of surface area than if the laser was arranged in a parallel or perpendicular position to Schlemm's canal, resulting in optimal formation of perforations. The perforations allow for drainage of fluid and increased outflow of aqueous humor in the eye. |
