Detry-Morel MJournal Français d'Ophtalmologie 2002; 25: 843-855
With laser indotomy, argon laser trabeculoplasties, cyclophotocoagulations with diode laser and Nd:YAG goniopunctures after deep sclerectomy, among other procedures, the laser has offered a very wide range of treatments for managing glaucomatous patients for roughly 20 years. In this paper, the author provides a general review of the present applications of lasers in the treatment of glaucoma, focusing on the indications, results, and complications of the most frequently-used procedures in daily clinical practice.LA: French
