LiGHT results - laser trabeculoplasty as first-line glaucoma treatment
Successful trials of laser-based treatment at Moorfields in fight against glaucoma - what could the research mean for you? In March 2019 the results of a pioneering clinical study called LiGHT (Laser in Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension Trial) were published. The results of the study by researchers at Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and UCL Institute of Ophthalmology showed that using a laser-based treatment on newly diagnosed cases of glaucoma is more successful and more cost-effective than the current method of using intraocular pressure lowering eye drops.
