The influence of intraocular pressure (IOP) on the visual field of @entity726 @entity1 is discussed; the criterion level for postoperative IOP control was set at 20 mmHg. When the IOP exceeded this level for two consecutive months, the IOP control was judged to be a failure, and the surgical results were analysed by a life-table method. Argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) with 50 shots over 180 degrees of the angle was used routinely, because of fewer complications than with 360 degrees ALT. A second session sometimes improved the final success rate, which was about 57% in primary @entity1538 and 94% in @entity9998 after a follow-up period of two years and two months. All @entity1 (120 eyes) required drugs, but their use could be reduced in about 35%. The IOP distribution in successful cases showed a peak at 16 to 17 mmHg, and the IOP was 15 mmHg or less in 21%. In trabeculectomy, pretreatment with topical @entity3352 and @entity134 drip infusion was advocated, and concentrated @entity4023 was used during surgery. These procedures reduced the incidence of @entity8707 and associated @entity1713 . The final success rate was about 60% after five years of follow-up. The IOP distribution after more than two years peaked at 13 to 15 mmHg, and the IOP was 15 mmHg or less in 53%.
