  • Abstract
    Pulsed infrared lasers have generated considerable interest in the “minimally invasive” creation of sclerostomies for the surgical treatment of glaucoma. The two lasers currently receiving the most attention for filtration surgery are the THC:YAG (holmium) and the Er:YAG laser. Another surgery currently under investigation is Er:YAG laser trabecular ablation (LTA)
