    This study offers guidelines for Argon and YAG laser therapy in glaucoma treatment, based on three years of clinical experience. Laser procedures like trabeculoplasty and iridotomy demonstrate significant reliability for managing glaucomatous pathology.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Laser Applications

    Background:

    • Glaucoma management requires effective therapeutic strategies.
    • Laser therapy has emerged as a significant treatment modality for various glaucomatous pathologies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present evidence-based guidelines for applying Argon and YAG laser therapy in different types of glaucoma.
    • To share insights from a 3-year clinical experience with consistent laser therapy application in glaucoma patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of case reports involving 196 Argon-laser trabeculoplasties, 34 Argon-laser iridotomies, and 158 YAG-laser iridotomies.
    • Inclusion of data from 31 gonioplasties and numerous combined laser treatments.
    • Analysis of long-term follow-up data for laser therapy efficacy.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated considerable reliability of Argon and YAG laser therapy techniques in glaucoma management.
    • Successful application of various laser procedures including trabeculoplasty, iridotomy, and gonioplasty.
    • Combined laser treatments showed promising outcomes in complex cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Argon and YAG laser therapies are reliable and effective for treating diverse glaucomatous conditions.
    • Prolonged follow-up confirms the sustained efficacy of these laser interventions.
    • New therapeutic hypotheses regarding laser mechanisms in glaucoma are proposed.
