Abstract
The choice of the method of surgical treatment of glaucoma, as a way to control intraocular pressure and to stabilize the glaucoma, is one of the leading problems in ophthalmology. Abilities to control power and time of laser cyclodestructive exposure makes it possible to expand the range of tasks that the method can solve. The aim of the study was a comparative assessment of the degree of postoperative inflammatory response in the anterior chamber of the eye to cyclodestructive intervention, accompanied by the implementation of the vaporization biological effect and without it.
In first experimental group of the eyes of rabbits, the intervention was performed until a visual response was obtained in the form of coagulation of processes with a power in the range from 0.3 to 0.5 W. In second group intervention was performed until a visual response was obtained in POP-effect. There were the power range from 0.9 to 1.2 W.
We hadn’t statistically significant differences between groups throughout the observation period. Endoscopic laser cyclodestruction leads to an inflammatory response, however, even somewhat excessive damage to the ciliary processes in the form of a vaporization effect does not lead to a significant increase in its intensity.
Keywords: postoperative iridocyclitis; endoscopic laser cyclodestruction; optical coherence tomography.
