  2. 1. Laser treatment in glaucoma : efficacy and safety

    Author : Erika Rasmuson; Gauti Jóhannesson; Christina Linden; Björn Lundberg; Mika Harju; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; glaucoma; laser treatment; intraocular pressure; glaucoma treatment; glaukom; laserbehandling; ögontryck; glaukombehandling; oftalmiatrik; ophthalmology; oftalmiatrik; ophthalmology;

    Abstract : Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy and the major cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Although the pathogenesis of glaucoma is not completely understood, the most important risk factor for development and progression of the disease is an elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). READ MORE
