Abstract
This review analyzes the data on the effectiveness of the use effectiveness of the use of laser methods for the treatment of patients with glaucoma, namely selective laser trabeculoplasty. The authors analyzed the sources of domestic and foreign literature for 1996–2020. The review reflects the history of application of this method, as well as the rationale for choosing it, as the treatment for various forms of glaucoma. The efficiency of once or repeatedly applied procedures, depending also on the modification of SLT used, are presented according different authors. So far, SLT has been proven to be the laser treatment that improves the safety and efficacy of glaucoma treatment. It is necessary to continue research to study the possibilities of using it as an alternative to local hypotensive therapy, when choosing a treatment strategy for newly diagnosed initial glaucoma.
