Abstract
A model to predict and compare laser-trabecular meshwork interactions during laser trabeculoplasty with three different lasers was developed. The model predicts that both SLT and μs-IRLT produce selective heating of pigmented trabecular meshwork cells with negligible heat diffusion to surrounding structures and with a deeper penetration at the infrared wavelength. As such, the qualitative model indicated that infrared laser trabeculoplasty with microsecond pulses can produce selective targeting of pigmented trabecular meshwork cells with a deeper penetration than SLT.
