title: [Laser in glaucoma treatment ; 1-year personal experience].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The paper establishes the role of the laser treatment in the complex treatment of glaucoma and realizes a comparison between our clinical results and the results from the literature.
  
  
  METHODS
  Along a period of one year, we have treated a number of 117 glaucoma patients: Open angle glaucoma (POAG), angle closure glaucoma (ACG), normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and symptomathic narrow anterior chamber. The complex treatment consists of medication, laser and/or surgery. To treat the patients, we have used the VISULAS 532 Combi laser, manufactured by Zeiss.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The results are presented in a synthetic way for different pathological entities and different methods of laser treatment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In glaucoma, laser treatment represents a step between the medical treatment and surgery and is a very good alternative when the medication in inefficient or is not well tolerated. Our results are, in majority, similar with those from the literature.
