Excimer laser trabeculotomy (ELT) ab interno is a new surgical technique to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Our purpose was to examine IOP reduction and the use of antiglaucoma drugs (AGD) in patients treated with ELT and to evaluate the safety of this laser treatment.
