Selective laser trabeculoplasty in the treatment of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma

Abstract

The article analyzes the results of selective laser trabeculoplasty in the treatment of patients with early, advanced and extensive stages of primary open-angle glaucoma. The best results are obtained in patients with primary and advanced stages of glaucoma. In patients with extensive stage of glaucoma, intraocular pressure reduction after laser treatment does not permit to achieve the target pressure, and more intensive antihypertensive therapy or surgical treatment are required.
