RESULTS OF PRIMARY SELECTIVE LASER TRABECLOPLASTY FOR RRINMARY OPEN ANGLE GLAUCOMA
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of primary selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) on primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). Patients and Methods: no control interventional study on 36 eyes ò 18 POAG patients who were treated with primary SLT on 360o. All patients then were followed at 2 weeks, 1 month and 2 months. Additional IOP lowering medications were noted at 1 month and 2 months. Results: Mean age was 61.67± 12.61 year old. Male accounted for 67%. All eyes were at advanced (25%) or severe (75%) stages. Pre-treatment IOP was 31.24 ± 11.50 mmHg, that was lowered to 20.91± 7.30 mmHg at 2 weeks, 21.04± 9.02mmHg at 1 month and 18.34± 4.45 mmHg at 2 months after 360o SLT. The IOP reduction rate was 27.63%, 28.22% and 31.96% respectively. The additional IOP lowering medications was 0.46 ± 0.78 at 1 month, 0.18 ± 0.40 at 2 months. There were few complications such as superficial irritation (14%), conjunctival hyperemia (8%) which were usually mild, transient. Conclusion: SLT proved to be effective and safe as primary treatment for POAG.
