title: [Laser gonioplasty of the iridocorneal angle in the treatment of glaucoma].
abstract: Indications, contraindications, technique and the results of the laser gonioplasty are presented. The method is simple, easy, practically, free of complications, applied with good results in narrow-angle glaucoma, in controlling the acute attack of closed-angle glaucoma and also performed as a preparation for other types of laser therapy. It does not eliminate the pharmacological therapy; sometimes the effect of the intervention is short-lived and this requires a supplement by another form of treatment. Gonioplastic treatment is specially suggested in patients with an narrow angle and with moderate rises of the IOP.
