- Abstract
Introduction: CO2 laser-assisted sclerectomy surgery (CLASS) can be used for the surgical treatment of open-angle glaucoma. Aim: To introduce our results with CLASS. Method: We performed 21 CLASS operations using OT-134-IOPtiMate (IOPtima Ltd, Ramat-Gan, Israel). Patients were examined on the 1st day, and in the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th months postoperatively. We evaluated intraocular pressure (IOP), antiglaucomatous medication-use, visual acuity, complications. Results: Mean age was 65.6 yrs. Complete success (no hypotensive medication required to target IOP) was achieved in 61.1% (18 patients) at 6 months, whereas in 50% (10 patients) at 12 months. Qualified success (hypotensive medication required to target IOP) was achieved in 72.2% and in 70%, preoperative mean IOP was 29.2 ± 9.4 Hgmm, which falled to 17.7 ± 4.9 Hgmm and 17.3 ± 4.3 Hgmm, respectively. Antiglaucomatous medication use falled significantly from 2.90 ± 0.83 to 2.05 ± 1.46. Apart from 1 macroperforation, no serious complication occurred. Conclusions: With CLASS it is possible to effectively lower intraocular pressure in open-angle glaucoma.
