Argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) is an intraocular pressure lowering method that is overall safe and powerful, but often complicated by transient postoperative intraocular pressure rises. In prevention of this complication, we frequently use two potent alpha-adrenergic agonists--brimonidine and apraclonidine.
