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 ...

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 ...

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.

Histopathology of Neodymium:YAG Laser Iridectomy in Humans
Ophthalmology, 1985Fifteen peripheral iridectomy specimens were obtained, with informed consent, from patients with primary narrow angle glaucoma, after previous neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser iridectomy. The iridectomies were performed three hours to ten weeks after laser application.

Thermoelastic analysis of laser iridectomies
Journal of Biomedical Engineering, 1989We have attempted to derive the stress-strain-temperature relationships of the iris stroma subject to a restrictive thermal burn from a laser. The corresponding displacement equation embodies the mechanical impulses due to this thermal insult. This thermoelastic analysis of laser iridectomy attempts to describe the mechanism involved in the surgical ...

Corneal Decompensation After Argon Laser Iridectomy
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1989To the Editor. —We have had the pleasure of reading the article by Schwartz et al 1 in the November 1988 issue of theArchivesregarding corneal decompensation after argon laser iridectomy. Although all of us have seen corneas occasionally decompensate after an attack of angle closure glaucoma or after surgical procedures, our experience suggests less ...

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 ...

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.
