Responsiveness to Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty in Open-Angle Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) is becoming the recommended first choice in the treatment of open-angle glaucoma (OAG). However, whether repeat SLT can be recommended regardless of initial response remains controversial.

Objective

To assess the potential of OAG and ocular hypertension (OHT) undergoing repeat laser to respond favorably to SLT, termed responsiveness to SLT.

Design, setting, and participants

This post hoc analysis of the Laser in Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension Trial in China (LiGHT China) was conducted from March 2015 to April 2023 in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center. Of 1376 newly diagnosed OAG and OHT eyes of 771 adults in the original trial, 180 eyes of 105 participants were included in the present study, which underwent initial and repe
