The authors report on the effect of argon laser trabeculoplasty on intraocular pressure (IOP) over a 3-year period with a mean follow-up period of 1.8 years in patients with uncontrolled primary open-angle glaucoma who had not undergone prior surgery. An analysis of the effect of laser trabeculoplasty using the criteria for success of an IOP of 22 mmHg or less with no further laser trabeculoplasty or glaucoma surgery, showed a cumulative success of 79% (112 eyes) at 1 year, 69% (85 eyes) at 2 years, and 59% (58 eyes) at 3 years. Similar results are presented for 22 eyes from patients with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma. The authors conclude that although the initial success rate of laser trabeculoplasty is high, it diminishes progressively over time.
