Table 4.

SD standard deviation, IOP intraocular pressure, SLT selective laser trabeculoplasty. Significance of within treatment change, **p < 0.001, *p < 0.01. p-values in the right hand column reflect comparisons for baseline and treated IOP between SLT1 (<12 months in between treatments) and SLT1 (≥12 months between treatments, and SLT2 (<12 months in between treatments) and SLT2 (≥12 months between treatments)
