Abstract

Examination and treatment of 50 patients (50 eyes) with the early stage of primary open angle glaucoma before and after application of complex laser surgery technology was carried out. Selective laser trabeculoplasty in combination with YAG-laser trabeculostomy was performed in the projection of theoutflowmeshwork. Hypotensive effect was 31,1 % of the initial intraocular pressure level on the 1st post-op day and remained for a month after the surgery due to the outflow improvement of the intraocular fluid by 62,5 %. The YAG-laser and OCT data allow optimization of YAG trabeculostomy, providing an alternative noninvasive laser treatment for patients with primary open angle glaucoma.
