However, there are only a few reports which compare the outcomes of SLT between primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). We compared the efficacy of SLT for patients with PACG following phacoemulsification with POAG receiving maximal medical therapy (MMT). Consecutive glaucoma patients followed up for at least 1 year after SLT were retrospectively evaluated and IOP reductions at 6 months and 12 months were analyzed. Seventy-six patients were included in the analyses. The baseline IOPs in the POAG and PACG group were 18.5 \u00b1 3.3 mmHg and 16.9 \u00b1 2.5 mmHg, respectively, with 2.8 \u00b1 0.9 and 2.7 \u00b1 0.8 types of IOP lowering medication. The average IOP at the 6-month and 12-month follow-up after SLT was significantly decreased and comparable in both the POAG and PACG groups. For those with a low baseline IOP, the effect of SLT on IOP reduction at 12 months was significantly better in the PACG than in the POAG group (p = 0.003). IOP reduction at 6 and 12 months after SLT was significantly greater in those with a high baseline IOP than those with a low baseline IOP (p &lt; 0.0065). In summary, the one-year efficacy of SLT was equivalent in POAG and pseudophakic PACG patients receiving MMT; however, SLT was more effective in eyes with PACG than eyes with POAG when focusing on those with a lower baseline IOP.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm10132853","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,28]],"date-time":"2021-06-28T02:05:37Z","timestamp":1624845937000},"page":"2853","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Comparison of Treatment Outcomes of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty for Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma and Pseudophakic Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma Receiving Maximal Medical Therapy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Pei-Yao","family":"Chang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, Ban-Chiao, New Taipei City 220, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Medicine, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei City 100, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Healthcare Administration, Asia University, Taichung City 413, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, Yuan Ze University, Taoyuan City 320, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiun-Yi","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Healthcare Administration, Asia University, Taichung City 413, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Medical Research, China Medical University Hospital, China Medical University, Taichung City 404, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3157-3613","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jia-Kang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, Ban-Chiao, New Taipei City 220, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Medicine, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei City 100, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, Yuan Ze University, Taoyuan City 320, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tzu-Lun","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, Ban-Chiao, New Taipei City 220, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, Yuan Ze University, Taoyuan City 320, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yung-Ray","family":"Hsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, Ban-Chiao, New Taipei City 220, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Medicine, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei City 100, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, Yuan Ze University, Taoyuan City 320, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1238","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2019.04.012","article-title":"Laser in ocular hypertension trial study, primary selective laser trabeculoplasty for open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension: Clinical outcomes, predictors of success, and safety from the laser in glaucoma and ocular hypertension trial","volume":"126","author":"Garg","year":"2019","journal-title":"Ophthalmology"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1505","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(18)32213-X","article-title":"Selective laser trabeculoplasty versus eye drops for first-line treatment of ocular hypertension and glaucoma (LiGHT): A multicentre randomised controlled trial","volume":"393","author":"Gazzard","year":"2019","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e128","DOI":"10.1097\/IJG.0000000000000215","article-title":"Optimal selective laser trabeculoplasty energy for maximal intraocular pressure reduction in open-angle glaucoma","volume":"24","author":"Lee","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
