5 Key Takeaways
-
1
Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) variability for up to 18 months post-treatment.
-
2
The study involved 52 eyes of 32 patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension using home tonometry.
-
3
Significant reductions in mean IOP, maximum IOP, IOP range, and standard deviation were observed at all post-treatment time points.
-
4
A notable finding was that peak IOP values often occurred outside typical clinic hours, suggesting underestimation of IOP variability.
-
5
Home tonometry proved effective for assessing treatment response, indicating its potential for future glaucoma management studies.
