Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty in the Treatment of Open-angle Glaucoma

Abstract

SLT resulted in a significant IOP reduction of 16.3% at 16 months after surgery. The level of IOP reduction did not vary in POAG, PEX, and PG groups. A significant increase in IOP was observed in PG group after 6 months. The procedure seemed least effective in diabetic patients.
