[Laser trabeculoplasty and the status of the crystalline lens in open-angle glaucoma].

The authors analyze the frequency of cataract progression in patients with open-angle glaucomas after laser trabeculoplasty. 132 patients (148 eyes) have been followed up for 1 to 6 yrs. A considerable deterioration of the vision acuity (by 0.4 and more) has been observed in 10 (6.8%) eyes; in this group of patients the vision acuity decrease on the involved eye has been 0.59 +/- 0.25, whereas on the other (control) eye, not exposed to laser trabeculoplasty, the vision acuity has decreased by 0.09 on an average. The vision acuity has deteriorated at the expense of the already developed cataract progression. This appears to be induced by laser trabeculoplasty. It is noteworthy, however, that the incidence rate of cataract progression after laser trabeculoplasty is much lower than after antiglaucoma surgery (6.68 vs. 30-80%). No cases of the development of a cataract in a transparent lens (a phenomenon observed after antiglaucoma surgery) have been recorded after laser trabeculoplasty.

[The outlook for the use of diode laser radiation for trabeculoplasty in treating primary open-angle glaucoma].

Clinical efficacy of diode laser trabeculoplasty is assessed in 35 eyes of 30 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma during during the initial and well-developed stages of diseases. Changes in the anterior segment of the eye, intraocular pressure, ocular hydrodynamics, visual functions, and status of the optic nerve were assessed 6-12 months after the operation. Diode laser trabeculoplasty is characterized by areactive clinical course and leads to a significant decrease of intraocular pressure, stabilizes and improves visual functions, and ameliorates intraocular humor discharge. The treatment runs a smooth course without complications. The method is recommended for clinical practice and further studies.
