LASER CORRECTION OF A RECURRENCE OF ELEVATED INTRAOCULAR-PRESSURE AFTER SURGICAL VALVULAR SINUSOTRABECULECTOMY

Wise's laser trabeculoplasty with a 270-degrees exposure was used in 22 eyes of 22 patients with operated-on decompensated glaucoma. Patients with elevated decompensated intraocular pressure after sinusotrabeculoctomy were included in this group. The postoperative fistula was located in front of the Schlemm's canal in them. A dynamic follow-up has shown a stable normalization of the ophthalmic tone in 62 % of cases without maintenance therapy. As a repeated intervention, laser trabeculoplasty is less traumatic, yields a good therapeutic effect, and may be widely used as a method to correct elevated intraocular pressure after earlier sinusotrabeculectomy.
