Topical medications do not adversely, nor favorably, affect SLT success. SLT efficacy is positively associated with the degree of IOP elevation before SLT treatment. Pigmentation of the anterior chamber angle, class of antiglaucoma medications, diabetes, sex, corneal thickness, pseudophakia, diagnosis, washout of eye drops, and previous argon laser trabeculoplasty treatment are not associated with SLT treatment efficacy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
