The results of diode laser trabeculoplasty carried out on 14 eyes of primary open-angle glaucoma are demonstrated. Powers of 0.8-1.0 W were used, with spot 75 um and a pulse of 0.1 second and a mean ocular hypotensive effect of 6.82 +/- 2.94 mmHg (27.9%) was observed at 6 months after treatment. The 78.6% compensation was achieved. The results confirm that diode laser trabeculoplasty is an effective mode of treatment for eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma.
