title: [Collapse of the blood-aqueous humor barrier following laser injury--preventive pharmacotherapy with prostaglandin inhibitors].
abstract: Laser-induced collapse of the blood-aqueous barrier and the protective effect of different prostaglandin inhibitors were investigated in the animal study reported here. As a parameter of the barrier function, the protein concentration in the aqueous humor was measured using a micromethod. The anterior chamber of 90 eyes (45 rabbits) was tapped only once, 100 min after the laser procedure. The results prove that different prostaglandin inhibitors in a systemic or topical application form can effectively reduce disturbances of the blood-aqueous barrier after laser surgery. This is also of clinical relevance with regard to laser iridotomy or trabeculoplasty in glaucoma.
