| Abstrakt: | Results of laser treatment of open-angle and angle-closure glaucomas are communicated. Argon laser trabeculoplasty was performed in 78 eyes with open-angle glaucoma. The most favorable site for photocoagulation was the gone between the pigmented and nonpigmented trabecular meshwork. Forty-two eyes with angle-closure glaucoma were treated by argon laser gonioplasty. This method proved successful in chronic angle-closure glaucoma and for the prophylactic management of acute angle-closure glaucomas. A combination of argon laser gonioplasty and argon laser trabeculoplasty was used in 16 eyes. Both methods were found to be effective in treating certain forms of juvenile glaucoma. A further 11 eyes with acute angle-closure glaucoma were treated by Nd-YAG laser iridotomy, 9 of them successfully. |
