[Argon laser trabeculoplasty in glaucoma with a narrow chamber angle].
In 49 eyes (33 patients) with open-angle glaucoma and narrow angle, which did not respond to conservative therapy, argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) was performed after preparative gonioplasty. The success rate was 65.3%. A postoperative rise in IOP was observed in 44.3%, and aqueous humor flare in 63.3%. Goniodysgenesis proved to be prognostically unfavorable for ALT.
