Abstract

It is generally accepted within the ophthalmic community that medical therapy is the preferred primary treatment in open‐angle glaucoma, followed by laser trabeculoplasty if the medical therapy is unsuccessful, with surgery employed more as an end‐stage option when these avenues have been exhausted. This review discusses the efficacy of argon laser trabeculoplasty, alone and in comparison with medical therapy as a primary treatment of glaucoma. It will also discuss the new laser technique, selective laser trabeculoplasty.
