Summary:In 24 patients with simple glaucoma in whom the IOP did not normalize under the conservative treatment the authors checked--between others--the Po, the outflow coefficient (C) and calculated Po/C. Laser trabeculoplasty was performed subsequently. The enumerated indexes were examined the day after surgery, then after the 1-st and 2-nd week, after a month and 2 months. In the majority of cases the coefficient C showed an improvement and normalization of the IOP distinctly seen till the 1-st month after operation. In subsequent observations 5 persons showed a renewed deterioration of the hydrodynamic conditions and the intervention was repeated leading to an improvement in 3 cases. In consideration of the lack of normalization of the IOP in 2 persons it was necessary to subject them to a surgical procedure.
