The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty after a prior failed phacoemulsification and Eximer Laser Trabeculectomy.
This study evaluates the efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty after a failed combined procedure of phacoemulsification cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation plus Eximer Laser Trabeculectomy in open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The success of SLT will be determined by the intraocular pressure and number of hypotensive drugs.

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty is a laser treatment procedure to enhance trabecular aequous humor outflow and thus decrease intraocular pressure.
