Abstract
The following article discusses the outcome of 60 eyes with various forms of glaucoma undergoing resident-performed argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT). The majority (46/60) of eyes had primary open-angle glaucoma. Decrease in intraocular pressure (IOP) was not as great as reported in the literature. Our results suggest that initially treating 180 degrees of the angle is associated with improved overall results. ALT has proved to be a safe and effective alternative to conventional surgery for glaucoma in a residency training setting.
