Abstract
Of 52 eyes treated with argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALTR) 49 were considered to be well controlled after treatment. At the 1 yr follow-up of these latter eyes 7 showed either a high IOP (> 22 mmHg), in spite of medical treatment (4 eyes), or progression in visual field defects (3 eyes). No further deterioration was seen when 35 eyes were reexamined at 18 mo. There were no serious complications that could attributed with certainty to ALT. Rapidly healing corneal burns, previously not systematically studied, were noticed in 80% of the eyes.Keywords
