Abstract

103 patients (103 eyes) with uncontrolled open-angle glaucoma were under treatment. The patients were divided onto two groups. 63 patients (the first group) underwent deep sclerectomy combined with diod laser trabecu-loplasty ab externo, the second group (control, 40 eyes) undergone deep sclerectomy. All of the patients were under maximally tolerated medical therapy. Mean IOP was 28,09 ± 2,47 mm Hg in the first group and 27,09±1,71 mm Hg in the control group. On the seventh day after the surgery the mean IOP significantly (p = 0,001) decreased in both groups and consist of 16,08 ± 0,82 mm Hg and 17,09 ± 0,49 mm Hg respectively. Mean IOP in 18 month of follow up in the first group was 17,50 ± 2,31 mm Hg and in the control group — 18,82±1,51 mm Hg. 13 patients (20,6 %) from the first group and 9 patients (22,5 %) from the second group were under additional therapy of prostaglandin inhibitors.
