Laser Peripheral Iridotomy Curriculum: Lecture and Simulation Practical [PDF]
Introduction Approximately 20 million people worldwide are affected by primary angle closure glaucoma, which is often treated with a laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI). In the United States, at least 60,000 to 80,000 LPIs are performed annually.

Laser peripheral iridotomy versus laser peripheral iridotomy plus laser peripheral iridoplasty in the treatment of multi-mechanism angle closure: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial. [PDF]
China has the largest burden of primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) worldwide. The mechanism of the angle closure is complex and includes pupillary block and non-pupillary block. Currently, opinion is that laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) alone is not sufficient to prevent disease progression. Laser peripheral iridoplasty (LPIP) is an alternative and

Biometric indicators of anterior segment parameters before and after laser peripheral iridotomy by swept-source optical coherent tomography [PDF]
Background Primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) is the most common type of glaucoma in China. Laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) is the primary choice to treat PAC: We aim to evaluate the changes of biometric parameters of anterior segment and to find ...
