ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) (Lumenis, Santa Clara, CA) was developed in 1999 as a means to lower IOP in patients with glaucoma. It is a relatively safe procedure. We report a rare side effect of anterior chamber shallowing with myopic following SLT. Case Presentation A 48 year-old white female who underwent SLT OD developed a 4- diopter myopic shift and anterior chamber shallowing 1 week following SLT. Both the anterior chamber shallowing and the myopic shift resolved within 5 weeks.Conclusion:
Anterior chamber shallowing and myopic shift following SLT is a rare side effect but is reversible. Physicians and patients should be aware of this potential side effect of SLT.
