Popis: Purpose: Evaluate real-world data of outcomes from selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) performed in different regions of Brazil and also investigate potential predictors of success associated with treatment.Methods: Multicenter retrospective case series with patients who underwent a primary SLT procedure. Results: A total of 835 eyes from 835 patients were included. The mean follow-up was 916.8 ± 563.0 days. The mean age was 64.5 ± 14.9 years and 56.6% were women. We observed a intraocular pressure reduction comparing baseline to post-SLT measurements (18.4 ± 3.8mmHg versus 14.8 ± 3.5mmHg; PConclusions: Primary SLT achieved relatively high success rates without sight-threating complications in this real-world study with a large sample of Brazilian patients. These findings corroborate previous studies regarding SLT outcomes and may help clinicians to identify the best candidates for laser treatment.
