    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Technology
    • Laser Surgery

    Background:

    • Glaucoma management often involves surgical or laser interventions to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP).
    • Different laser modalities offer varied approaches to treating specific glaucoma subtypes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of three distinct laser techniques for glaucoma treatment.
    • To compare outcomes of argon laser iridotomy, argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT), and Nd-YAG laser goniotomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Short-burn argon laser iridotomy for angle-closure glaucoma.
    • Anterior and posterior argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) with varying treatment areas (180 vs. 360 degrees).
    • Nd-YAG laser goniotomy for developmental glaucoma.

    Main Results:

    • Argon laser iridotomy effectively treated pupillary block with outcomes similar to surgical iridectomy regarding IOP control and visual acuity.
    • Posterior ALT showed better IOP control than anterior ALT, with 180-degree treatment yielding better results than 360-degree treatment.
    • Nd-YAG laser goniotomy successfully separated iris from the trabecular band in developmental glaucoma without significant complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Argon laser iridotomy is a safe and effective option for angle-closure glaucoma.
    • Posterior ALT, particularly with 180-degree treatment, offers a favorable balance of IOP control and complications.
    • Nd-YAG laser goniotomy presents a promising treatment for juvenile primary developmental glaucoma.
