Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty Protects Glaucoma Progression in the Initial Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma and Angle-Closure Glaucoma after Laser Peripheral Iridotomy in the Long Term

Purpose . To compare the ability of SLT in preventing glaucoma progression in the initial primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) after laser peripheral iridotomy and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in the long term. Methods . 60 patients with the initial stage of PACG after laser peripheral iridotomy and 64 initial POAG patients were recruited in a prospective study. Complete success of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) was defined as a...
