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 ...

Nd:YAG Laser Iridectomies: 100 Consecutive Cases
Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 1988ABSTRACT We reviewed the patient charts of our first 100 consecutive Nd:YAG laser iridectomies. Our success rate (99%) is the same as that reported by others. Iris bleeding was not problematic. We did find that relative pupillary block may still be present with a patent but very small Nd:YAG iridectomy; that transillumination is not an ...

Laser Iridotomy vs Surgical Iridectomy
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1985The number of laser iridotomies in 1982 was more than four times the annual rate of surgical iridectomies performed before the laser was in common use at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Miami. No single reason accounts for the increase. Only a minority of the increase is due to a 32% increase in our outpatient volume, a backlog of individuals with ...

Transactions. Section on Ophthalmology. American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology, 1975
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.

Neodymium: YAG Laser Iridectomy and Acute Cataract Formation in the Rabbit
Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 1986ABSTRACT The Q-switched NeodymiumiYAG (Nd=YAG) laser in the single pulse mode was used to perform iridectomles in pigmented and albino rabbits. Seventy-one iridectomies were attempted. Seventy-six percent (54/71) of these were patent at the time of enucleation. lridectomy closure was not noted during the 24-day study period. Lenticular damage

Central Anterior Chamber Depth After Laser Iridectomy
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1980We found the true anterior chamber depth to be unaffected by successful laser iridectomy in ten eyes treated by this modality for chronic angle-closure glaucoma. The apparent general deepening seemed to be the result of peripheral chamber deepening combined with the common use of strong cycloplegic agents, reversing the shallowing effect of ...

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 ...

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.

Laser iridectomy--a technique for blue irises.
Ophthalmic surgery, 1984A two-step technique for laser iridectomy in light blue irises is described, which simplifies penetration of these irises and allows success rates approaching 100%. Step one utilizes a high energy, long duration, predominantly thermal laser burn that destroys overlying iris stroma. In step two, the laser energy is reduced and exposure time is shortened
