What is it about?
Laser to the trabeculum in a micropulse manner minimizes time in which laser-induced heat can spread to adjacent tissues resulting in the absence of collateral damage with an induced biological response to the trabecular meshwork that decrease the intraocular pressure

Why is it important?
Topical medication and surgery are not the only options to manage patients with open-angle glaucoma
Perspectives
The idea behind the pulsed laser delivery system is to minimize thermal energy and therefore, its resultant physiological damage to ocular tissue. Similar technology has been adapted to other subspecialties of ophthalmology, including retinal diseases and phacoemulsification for cataract surgery.
