DEVELOPMENT OF LASER TRABECULOPLASTY IN THE TREATMENT OF GLAUCOMA (LITERATURE REVIEW)

Glaucoma is a chronic, progressive disease that leads to optic neuropathy, characterized by a narrowing of the visual field and often an increase in intraocular pressure. Thus, the main goal of glaucoma treatment is to reduce intraocular pressure. Various treatment methods have been used for many years in the management of primary open-angle glaucoma, with laser methods undergoing several stages of development. Micropulse laser trabeculoplasty is the latest and safest alternative treatment for primary open-angle glaucoma.
