Abstract
A complication frequency of 3.1% visual loss and 1.8% emergency glaucoma surgery occurred in 224 and 159 eyes respectively after laser trabeculoplasty. The latter was associated with blacks and advanced cases of glaucoma. Both were highly associated with a 24-hour rise in pressure after laser.Keywords
