Summary: Recognized glaucoma with uncontrolled intraocular pressure, advanced glaucoma and angle closure glaucoma are absolute contraindications for the laser refractive surgery. Early, stable glaucoma or suspected glaucoma are relative contraindications for the laser corneal surgery. The decision to perform refractive procedure should be made individually. The article discusses the specificity of the initial examination for surgery, the choice of correction method and management after the procedure in such patients.
