- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 6-year-old Japanese boy with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who underwent selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) for steroid glaucoma. The patient underwent multi-agent chemotherapy and imatinib mesylate was added due to the detection of BCR-ABL1 gene rearrangement in leukemic blasts. It mentions that the intraocular pressure (IOP) remained normal after SLT.
