title: [Laser surgery for some forms of secondary posttraumatic glaucoma].
abstract: Zeiss Visulas YAG I Nd:YAG laser (Opton, Germany) was used in the treatment of 70 patients with three forms of secondary posttraumatic glaucoma (adhesive glaucoma with anterior-chamber adhesions and goniosynechias, adhesive glaucoma with aphakia-aniridia symptom complex, and aphakic malignant glaucoma). Laser synechiolysis was highly effective in patients with the first of the listed forms of glaucoma if the operation was performed as early as possible. The efficacy of hyaloidotomy, particularly peripheral, is confirmed; this modality in combination with drug therapy helps normalize intraocular pressure. The place of transpupillary laser hyaloidotomy in the treatment of aphakic malignant glaucoma is defined.
