The argon laser and the ruby laser have been used to open the pigment layer in three cases of surgically incomplete peripheral iridectomy. The technique, its advantages and complications, were discussed. On two additional eyes, full-thickness argon laser iridectomy was unsuccessful.

Increased Intraocular Pressure Following Neodymium-YAG Laser Iridectomy
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1986To the Editor. —Peripheral iridectomy is the treatment of choice for pupillary block glaucoma and for prophylaxis of occludable iridocorneal angles. Argon laser iridectomy has fewer serious complications and has largely replaced surgical iridectomy.

Nanophthalmic Eyes and Neodymium-YAG Laser Iridectomies
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1987To the Editor. —We congratulate Karjalainen et al 1 on their interesting report of bilateral nonrhegmatogenous retinal detachments following neodymium-YAG laser iridotomies in nanophthalmic eyes. From our experience with nanophthalmic eyes and laser iridectomies, we thought that the following thoughts might be of interest: The authors mentioned that ...

Laser iridectomy treatment of acute pseudophakic pupillary block glaucoma
American Intra-Ocular Implant Society Journal, 1982A 71-year-old patient developed acute pupillary block glaucoma two years after uncomplicated extracapsular cataract surgery with primary implantation of a Choyce-style anterior chamber lens. He presented one week after the onset of pain. The attack was relieved with argon laser iridectomy. The presumed mechanism was rotation of the intraocular lens due

Corneal Decompensation After Argon Laser Iridectomy-A Delayed Complication
Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 1991ABSTRACT We report six eyes in six patients in which corneal decompensation developed 18 or more months after argon laser iridectomy (ALI). In addition to the level of laser energy used, other risk factors included performing ALI during an attack, diabetes, and a cornea damaged by glaucomatous attack.

A Simplified Technique for Laser Iridectomy in Blue Irides
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1983Although some investigators have successfully performed argon laser iridectomies in blue irides, penetration is frequently difficult, particularly in light blue and gray irides with filmy stroma and poorly defined or absent crypts. Among the problems are an inability to penetrate the stroma with routine penetrating burns (spot size, 50 μm; power, 500 ...

Continuous Wave Argon Laser Iridectomy in Angle-Closure Glaucoma
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1979Utilizing a continuous wave argon laser in a multiburn fashion, successful iridectomies were achieved in 42 of 45 phakic eyes with either acute or chronic angle-closure glaucoma. Five of the successful procedures required multiple sittings on different days or abandonment of the primary treatment site in favor of an alternate site to attain patency ...

Posterior synechiae after laser iridectomy.
Annals of ophthalmology, 1989Eighty-six eyes of 46 patients were studied retrospectively to determine the incidence of posterior synechiae after laser iridectomy. All eyes were dilated and studied with a slit lamp. The incidence of permanent posterior synechiae in the eyes in this study (37%) is much higher than that previously reported.

Laser Iridectomy in the Management of Chronic Angle-Closure Glaucoma
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1984Nineteen eyes of 16 patients (12 men and four women ranging in age from 41 to 75 years) underwent laser peripheral iridectomy for treatment of uncontrolled chronic angle-closure glaucoma (25 to 62 mm Hg). Five of eight eyes (62.5%) with glaucomatous cupping but full visual fields attained postiridectomy intraocular pressures of less than 22 mm Hg with ...

[Laser Iridectomy (author's transl)].
Klinische Monatsblatter fur Augenheilkunde, 1982During the period mentioned 150 laser iridectomies were performed using the pulsed argon laser (BRITT Corp). With the help of a specially developed three mirror glass, (Stiegler) it is possible, without exception, to penetrate the iris in one session, regardless of its color or the depth of the anterior chamber.
