- Laser peripheral iridoplasty for chronic angle closure
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Mar-2021
In at least a third of primary angle closure cases, appositional angle closure persists after laser peripheral iridotomy, and further intervention may be considered. Laser peripheral iridoplasty (LPIp) can be used in treating chronic angle closure when an - Laser photocoagulation for choroidal neovascularisation in pathologic myopia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Oct-2008
Pathologic myopia is usually defined as the need for a spectacle correction of -6 diopters or higher. Choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) is the most commonly occurring cause of visual loss in people with pathologic myopia. In myopic macular degeneration t - Laser photocoagulation for neovascular age-related macular degeneration
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Oct-2008
Laser photocoagulation was the first treatment introduced to try to halt the progression of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), in which newly formed vessels or choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) grow under the macula leading to the occurr - Laser photocoagulation for proliferative diabetic retinopathy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Nov-2014
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes in which high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina. Sometimes new blood vessels grow in the retina, and these can have harmful effects; this is known as proliferative diabetic retinop - Laser prostatectomy for benign prostatic obstruction
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Jan-2000
Symptomatic benign prostatic obstruction is a common problem for older men. The gold standard treatment, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), significantly improves urinary symptoms and urinary flow. However, TURP has up to a 20% morbidity. Cur - Laser resurfacing for facial acne scars
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Apr-2016
Most people have acne at some stage during their life, with about one per cent being left with permanent acne scars. Recent laser techniques are thought to be more effective than chemical peels and dermabrasion. - Laser therapy for dentinal hypersensitivity
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Jul-2021
Dentinal hypersensitivity is characterized by short, sharp pain from exposed dentine that occurs in response to external stimuli such as cold, heat, osmotic, tactile or chemicals, and cannot be explained by any other form of dental defect or pathology. La - Laser therapy for retinopathy in sickle cell disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Dec-2022
Sickle cell disease (SCD) includes a group of inherited haemoglobinopathies affecting multiple organs including the eyes. Some people with SCD develop ocular manifestations. Vision-threatening complications are mainly due to proliferative sickle retinopat - Laser therapy for treating hypertrophic and keloid scars
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Sep-2022
Hypertrophic and keloid scars are common skin conditions resulting from abnormal wound healing. They can cause itching, pain and have a negative physical and psychological impact on patients’ lives. Different approaches are used aiming to improve these sc - Laser therapy for venous leg ulcers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Jul-2014
Around one percent of people in industrialised countries will suffer from a leg ulcer at some time. The majority of these leg ulcers are due to problems in the veins, resulting in an accumulation of blood in the legs. Leg ulcers arising from venous proble - Laser trabeculoplasty for open‐angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Aug-2022
Open-angle glaucoma (OAG) is an important cause of blindness worldwide. Laser trabeculoplasty, a treatment modality, still does not have a clear position in the treatment sequence. - Laser treatment of drusen to prevent progression to advanced age-related macular degeneration
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Oct-2015
Drusen are amorphous yellowish deposits beneath the sensory retina. People with drusen, particularly large drusen, are at higher risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The most common complication in AMD is choroidal neovascularisation - Laser-assisted cataract surgery versus standard ultrasound phacoemulsification cataract surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Jul-2016
Cataract is the leading cause of blindness in the world, and cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed operations in the Western world. Preferred surgical techniques have changed dramatically over the past half century with associated improve - Laser‐assisted in‐situ keratomileusis (LASIK) versus photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for myopia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Jan-2013
Myopia (also known as short-sightedness or near-sightedness) is an ocular condition in which the refractive power of the eye is greater than is required, resulting in light from distant objects being focused in front of the retina instead of directly on i - Laser‐assisted in‐situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with a mechanical microkeratome compared to LASIK with a femtosecond laser for LASIK in adults with myopia or myopic astigmatism
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Apr-2020
Laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a surgical procedure that corrects refractive errors. This technique creates a flap of the outermost parts of the cornea (epithelium, bowman layer, and anterior stroma) to expose the middle part of the corn - Laser‐assisted subepithelial keratectomy (LASEK) versus laser‐assisted in‐situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for correcting myopia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Feb-2017
Near-sightedness, or myopia, is a condition in which light rays entering the eye along the visual axis focus in front of the retina, resulting in blurred vision. Myopia can be treated with spectacles, contact lenses, or refractive surgery. Options for ref - Laser‐assisted subepithelial keratectomy (LASEK) versus photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for correction of myopia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Feb-2016
Myopia (near-sightedness or short-sightedness) is a condition in which the refractive power of the eye is greater than required. The most frequent complaint of people with myopia is blurred distance vision, which can be eliminated by conventional optical - Lasers for caries removal in deciduous and permanent teeth
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Sep-2016
Despite considerable improvements in oral health, dental caries continue to be a public health issue. The most frequently used, and universally accepted technique, to remove caries is through mechanical ablation of decayed tissues by means of rotating dri - Lasers or light sources for treating port-wine stains
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Sep-2011
Port-wine stains are birthmarks caused by malformations of blood vessels in the skin.
