    Laser trabeculoplasty effectively lowers intraocular pressure (IOP) in open-angle glaucoma patients. Most patients maintained reduced IOP and medication use long-term, with better outcomes in older adults.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Glaucoma Research
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Open-angle glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness.
    • Laser trabeculoplasty is a common initial treatment for open-angle glaucoma.
    • Long-term efficacy and patient factors influencing outcomes require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of laser trabeculoplasty in managing open-angle glaucoma.
    • To assess the impact of patient age on treatment outcomes.
    • To determine the correlation between initial intraocular pressure and IOP reduction.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 59 phakic eyes with open-angle glaucoma treated with laser trabeculoplasty.
    • Follow-up assessments at 6 and 12 months, including intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements and medication review.

  • Comparison of outcomes between patients over and under 55 years of age.

    • Main Results:

    • At 6 months, 82% of eyes achieved an IOP < 22 mmHg, with 81% on fewer medications.
    • At 12 months, 92% of eyes maintained an IOP < 22 mmHg.
    • Patients over 55 years showed significantly better IOP control (88%) compared to younger patients (P < 0.01).

    Conclusions:

    • Laser trabeculoplasty is a highly effective treatment for reducing IOP in open-angle glaucoma.
    • The procedure offers sustained IOP reduction and decreased medication dependence.
    • Older patients (>55 years) experience superior outcomes following laser trabeculoplasty.
