[Laser trabeculoplasty in open-angle glaucoma. Personal experience].

    Summary

    Laser trabeculoplasty effectively normalized intraocular pressure in most patients. However, this glaucoma surgery showed reduced efficacy in individuals under 40 and those with very low outflow coefficients.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Glaucoma Research
    • Surgical Interventions

    Context:

    • Laser trabeculoplasty is a common surgical procedure for managing glaucoma.
    • Understanding the factors influencing its long-term success is crucial for patient care.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of 360-degree laser trabeculoplasty in normalizing intraocular pressure.
    • To identify patient characteristics associated with treatment success or failure.

    Summary:

    • This study observed 21 patients (26 eyes) undergoing 360-degree laser trabeculoplasty.
    • Intraocular pressure normalization was achieved in 76.9% of cases.
    • The outflow coefficient improved in 57.6% of cases, but efficacy was lower in patients under 40 and those with pre-existing low outflow.

    Impact:

    • Findings suggest that patient age and baseline outflow coefficient are important predictors of laser trabeculoplasty success.
    • Highlights the need for personalized treatment strategies in glaucoma management.
