Laser iridectomy - Open Access .click

JAMA Ophthalmology, 1973
Seventeen iridectomy attempts were performed on 16 eyes using ruby, neodymium, and argon lasers. None of these was found suitable for iridectomy formation in blue eyes. Ruby wavelength was found to be the wavelength of choice in brown eyes, yielding a patent iridectomy in six out of six attempts. Attempts with neodymium and argon were disappointing. No

Laser iridectomy

Physics in Medicine and Biology, 1977
The laser energy required to achieve an iridectomy in the human eye is calculated as a function of laser beam radius and pulse duration. Two widely different models of the stromal pigment distribution are used in order to embrace the range of coloured irides encountered in practice.

Corneal Decompensation After Argon Laser Iridectomy

JAMA Ophthalmology, 1988
Five eyes of three patients developed generalized corneal decompensation after undergoing argon laser iridectomy for angle closure glaucoma. Factors possibly associated with corneal decompensation include episodes of angle closure glaucoma with pressure elevations and inflammation, corneal guttate, diabetes, and the need for multiple treatments ...

An “Exploding Cataract” Following Nd:YAG Laser Iridectomy

Ophthalmic Surgery Lasers and Imaging Retina, 2003
A case of an “exploding” cataract (an iatrogenic posterior capsular rupture) following Nd:YAG laser iridectomy is described. Rapid cataract development was observed in the right eye of a 76-year-old woman following an iridectomy. B-scan ultrasonography documented cortical debris in the vitreous cavity.
