Summary

Topical Anesthesia will be compared to Analgosedation for pain control in Micropulse Transscleral Laser Treatment for Glaucoma (MP-TLT).

Detailed description

For a patient, the perspective of a surgical treatment can mean both, hope, and anxiety. In particular the fear of pain during and after surgery can cause tremendous anxiety. In addition, possible side effects of general anesthesia and sedation should be considered, in particular, in patients with multiple comorbidities. The investigators want to help patients to cope with their anxiety and, in addition, minimize risks of surgical procedures including side effects of anesthesia. With this project, the investigators aim to investigate whether topical anesthesia - often used in ophthalmologic surgical procedures - can sufficiently control pain during and after a glaucoma laser procedure compared to intravenous analgosedation. As primary objective, the effectiveness in pain control of analgosedation and topical anesthesia in MP-TLT will be compared. As secondary objective, the effect of the anesthetic protocol used on postoperative visual related quality of life will be investigated.
