Therapeutic limitations of argon laser trabeculoplasty.
Sixty-one patients (82 eyes) were studied after argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) to determine the lasting efficacy of such treatment. This investigation, now in its fourth year, was prospective, and the information derived was analysed with the aid of a computer. Success was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) below baseline (22 mmHg). The mean follow-up time was 24.5 months, when the succes...
متن کاملIntraocular pressure rise after argon laser trabeculoplasty.
Eighty-four eyes received 107 argon laser trabeculoplasty treatments at Beth Israel Medical Center between 1982 and 1984 for advanced primary and secondary glaucoma. The prelaser mean pressure was 20.25 mmHg. Pressures taken 1 1/2 hours postoperatively varied widely: the pressure rose after 47 treatments and fell or remained the same after 60. Significant increases in pressure occurred in 10 ey...
متن کاملSelective laser trabeculoplasty versus argon laser trabeculoplasty in patients with uncontrolled open-angle glaucoma.
PURPOSE To compare the efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) to argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) as treatment and retreatment to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with uncontrolled open-angle glaucoma (OAG) on maximally tolerated medication therapy with a follow-up of 12 months. METHODS A total of 120 eyes of 120 patients with uncontrolled OAG were enrolled in the stud...
متن کاملThe efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty versus argon laser trabeculoplasty in pseudophakic glaucoma patients
INTRODUCTION This study evaluated and compared the efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) and argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) in terms of intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effects in pseudophakic patients at various time points after treatment. The primary aim was to compare the efficacy of SLT and ALT in reducing the IOP of pseudophakic glaucoma patients who recently underwent s...
متن کاملSelective laser trabeculoplasty v argon laser trabeculoplasty: a prospective randomised clinical trial.
AIMS To compare the effectiveness of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT, a 532 nm Nd:YAG laser) with argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) in lowering the intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with medically uncontrolled open angle glaucoma. METHODS A prospective randomised clinical trial was designed. Patients were randomised to treatment with either SLT or ALT and were evaluated at 1 hour, 1...
