LiGHT Trial 6年成績では、SLT一次治療群の69.8%が追加治療を要さずに目標眼圧を維持し、進行率は19.6% vs 26.8%(点眼群、P=0.006)と有意に低かった10)。線維柱帯切除術の施行数はSLT群13眼に対して点眼群32眼(P<0.001)、白内障手術施行数はSLT群57眼に対して点眼群95眼(P=0.03)とSLT群で有意に少なく、重篤なレーザー関連有害事象は認められなかった10)。これらの結果を受けて、欧州緑内障学会、米国眼科学会、英国NICEはSLTをOAG/OHTの一次治療の選択肢として推奨している1)2)3)10)。
乳頭出血の発生部位(近位型 vs 遠位型)と進行リスクの関連が報告されている7)。カップ型(近位型)DHは乳頭周囲型(遠位型)より進行リスクが高く、篩状板レベルでのRGC軸索への圧迫性視神経症の関与が示唆されている7)。デンシトメトリー研究では乳頭出血が動脈由来であることを支持する所見が得られている7)。
