One hundred and thirty-one phakic eyes of 109 patients with simple (52 eyes) and capsular (79 eyes) glaucoma were retrospectively followed at least for 12 months after laser trabeculoplasty (LTP). LTP was as effective in both groups with a success rate of 65% in simple glaucoma and 68% in capsular glaucoma. In half of the successful responders medication could be tapered. The mean intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction was greater in capsular glaucoma (37%) than in simple glaucoma (22%). The average pressure reduction in successfully treated eyes obtained at one month was essentially the same throughout the entire time of observation with 27 patients followed for 18 months. In 2 eyes IOP increased 32 and 51 mmHg above the base line after LTP; no other severe complications were observed.
