Pilocarpine to prevent acute pressure increase following primary laser trabeculoplasty

The effect of pilocarpine pretreatment on the transient pressure elevations immediately following primary laser trabeculoplasty was investigated in a prospective, randomised study. Fifty eyes of 50 patients, 33 with exfoliative and 17 with simple glaucoma, were treated in 360° of the trabecular mesh...

Zusammenfassung:	The effect of pilocarpine pretreatment on the transient pressure elevations immediately following primary laser trabeculoplasty was investigated in a prospective, randomised study. Fifty eyes of 50 patients, 33 with exfoliative and 17 with simple glaucoma, were treated in 360° of the trabecular meshwork. The mean maximum pressure increase was 2.4 (SD = 4.4)mm Hg with pilocarpine pretreatment and 12.8 (SD = 11.2)mm Hg without pretreatment (p
