Theoretical approach to laser trabeculotomy.
Theoretical aspects of laser characteristics as well as the physics parameters involved in laser trabeculotomy in open-angle glaucoma are put forward. Outflow hydrodynamics and perforation mechanism as well as the required optical matching system are evaluated in detail.
