Ciliary process laser treatment is a procedure that targets the ciliary processes in the eye, which are responsible for producing aqueous humor. By using laser energy to treat these structures, the procedure reduces fluid production, which helps lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucoma patients.
This treatment is used in patients with open-angle glaucoma who do not respond well to other treatments, such as medications or eye drops. It offers a minimally invasive solution to manage IOP and prevent further optic nerve damage.
Ciliary process laser treatment can be highly effective in managing glaucoma and preserving vision by reducing IOP without the need for more invasive surgery.
