| Popis: | We performed bilateral argon laser trabeculoplasty on 34 patients with medically uncontrolled open-angle glaucoma. Preoperative intraocular pressure was greater than 21 mm Hg, with a less than 3-mm Hg difference between the two eyes. Laser treatment (360 degrees) was performed on both eyes within a three-month interval. Mean (+/- S. D.) baseline intraocular pressure was similar in the first- (26.9 +/- 3.7 mm Hg) and second- (26.5 +/- 3.3 mm Hg) treated eyes. One hour after treatment, four first- and four second-treated eyes had a greater than 30% increase in intraocular pressure. The one-hour change in pressure was highly correlated between the two eyes (r = .794, P less than .0001). Intraocular pressure was reduced (P less than .0001) one, two, and three years after treatment in both the first and second-treated eyes. The percentages of first- and second-treated eyes with a pressure of less than or equal to 21 mm Hg were similar at one, two, and three years. Pressure response between the two eyes was correlated (P less than .0001) at year 1 (r = .815), 2 (r = .757), and 3 (r = .886) after laser therapy. |
