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]

Trials, 2017
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

Effect of laser peripheral iridotomy on contrast sensitivity using Spaeth/Richman Contrast Sensitivity test [PDF]

Therapeutic Advances in Ophthalmology, 2022
Background: Laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) is the current standard of care for primary angle-closure glaucoma. The existing literature lacks evidence regarding the effects of LPI on contrast sensitivity (CS) after the procedure.

Laser peripheral iridotomy induced changes in eyes with primary angle closure disease [PDF]

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology
Primary angle closure disease (PACD) though less prevalent than primary open angle glaucoma contributes to fifty percent of glaucoma blindness, particularly in the Asian population. Pupillary block is the most common pathology associated with PACD.
