The introduction of argon-laser iridotomy and argon-laser trabeculoplasty have had a beneficial impact on the treatment of glaucoma. Recent attention has been given to complications of anterior segment laser therapy. Of most concern is an acute rise in intraocular pressure which may be as great as 20 mmHg. Since patients undergoing anterior segment laser therapy usually have pre-existing visual compromise, this rise in intraocular pressure may be detrimental. This pressure rise rarely requires surgery. Until long-term follow-up is available, and complications are better understood, these new treatment modalities should be employed with caution.
氩激光虹膜切开术和氩激光小梁成形术的引入对青光眼的治疗产生了有益影响。近期人们关注到眼前节激光治疗的并发症。最令人担忧的是眼压急性升高，其幅度可能高达20 mmHg。由于接受眼前节激光治疗的患者通常已有视力损害，眼压升高可能是有害的。这种眼压升高很少需要手术治疗。在获得长期随访结果并更好地了解并发症之前，应谨慎采用这些新的治疗方式。
