Popis: Argon laser trabeculoplasty was performed in 71 eyes with complicated forms of open-angle glaucoma and insufficiently regulated intraocular pressure. The follow-up time was 18 +/- 6 months. The success rate was 35% in the group with secondary forms of glaucoma (37 treated eyes). Depending on the special indication a great difference in the subgroups was noted: the ALT failed in 4 cases of glaucoma after trauma, but was successful in 45% of all cases of aphakic glaucoma. Thirty-four eyes were treated by ALT after trabeculectomy had failed. The success rate in this group was 71%.
