The titanium-sapphire laser also causes less thermal damage in the trabecular meshwork than argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) or selectie laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), the studies showed.
Examinations should include monitoring of the IOP and gonioscopy for pseudophakes and patients with prior vitrectomies to detect mechanical obstruction of the trabecular meshwork by the medication.
Looking at a cross-section of a bone, there's a hard-external layer known as the cortical bone and a softer internal layer of spongy bone or trabecular bone that is composed of trabeculae.
