Results: Twenty-two patients were female, 20 patients were male and the mean agewas 62.1±16 (34-81). LSL was performed once in 22 eyes (46.8%) and more thanonce in 25 eyes(53.2%). The mean number of LSL was 1.63±0.7. The mean IOPbefore trabeculectomy was 30.2 mmHg and it was 24.1±6.3 mmHg (14-42 mmHg)before LSL. The mean interval time between trabeculectomy and performance ofsuture lysis was 7.9±6.3 days. The mean IOPs before and immediately after lasersuture lysis were 24.15±6.93 mmHg and 17.47±5.81 mmHg respectively in patientsthat LSL was performed once (p<0.001). The mean IOPs before and immediatelyafter laser suture lysis were 23.96±7 mmHg and 16.6±4.61 mmHg respectively inpatients that LSL was performed more than once (p<0.001). The difference wasstatistically significant in two groups (p<0.001). At the last visit, themean IOP was 14.6±4.07 mmHg (4-25 mmHg) (p<0.001). The mean follow-up timewas 21.4±20.01months (1-89 months).Conclusion: Laser suture lysis is a safe and effective method in the management ofthe patients in whom the target IOP was not reached after trabeculectomy and itcan be performed more than once.Key words: Glaucoma; trabeculectomy; lasersuture lysis.
