Real-world outcomes of selective laser trabeculoplasty and medical treatment in primary open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Report effectiveness of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) and topical medical therapy for treatment initiation and escalation.

Design

Multicentre, retrospective cohort study covering an observation period of 10 years.

Participants

Patients with ocular hypertension or primary open-angle glaucoma initiating intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering therapy, or escalating from a single topical agent.

Main outcome measures

Kaplan-Meier estimate for duration of treatment success, defined by the time between treatment event to treatment failure, defined as meeting one of the following: a <20% reduction in IOP in comparison to baseline at two consecutive clinic visits; IOP >21 mm Hg at 2 consecutive clinic visits; or subsequent intensification of glaucoma trea
