Laser trabeculoplasty re-treatment.
Because of inadequate control of intraocular pressure, 26 eyes of 24 patients with primary and secondary open-angle glaucoma who had previously undergone argon laser trabeculoplasty were re-treated. Re-treatment was successful in ten eyes (38%); their average decrease in intraocular pressure was 10.2 mm Hg. After laser re-treatment, three eyes (12%) had marked increases in intraocular pressure, ranging from 10 to 37 mm Hg above baseline, necessitating urgent surgical intervention.
