        "abstract": "Objective: Assessment of the potential efficacy and safety of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) as a primary therapeutic modality for lowering the intraocular pressure (IOP) in high tension open angle glaucoma (OAG) and ocular hypertensive patients (OHT). Methods: Twenty five patients (35 eyes) were enrolled in this prospective interventional longitudinal clinical study, undertaken during the period January 2005 to October 2006. All the laser procedures were done in the Oyoon Eye Center in Cairo, Egypt. Informed consent was taken from the patients after explanation of the procedure. Eighteen patients (25 eyes) had mild to moderate high tension open angle glaucoma, and there were 7 ocular hypertensive patients (10 eyes). Participants underwent selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) 180 degrees and followed up over a period of 12 months to assess the intraocular pressure lowering effect after SLT. Possible complications of the procedure were reported. Results: The intraocular pressure (mean ± standard deviation [StDev]) decreased from baseline pre-operative value of 26.78±3.13 mm Hg to 19.34±1.89 mm Hg 12 months after SLT (p"
