Progression of Peripheral Anterior Synechiae After Laser Iridotomy

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 2005
To determine the incidence and to characterize the risk factors of peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS) progression after laser iridotomy (LI).Retrospective observational cohort study.The extents of pre- and postlaser PAS and ocular and systemic data were obtained from the charts of 54 primary angle-closure glaucoma patients (59 eyes), all of whom had ...

Superior Laser Peripheral Iridotomy Confers Greater Risk of Negative Dysphotopsias than Temporal Laser Peripheral Iridotomy

Ophthalmic Epidemiology
Laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) is largely used as the first course of action to treat primary angle-closure (PAC). Previous literature has long been divided on the relationship between iridotomy position and dysphotopsia onset. The current study investigates whether there is a correlation between iridotomy position, temporal versus superior, and new ...

The effects of iridotomy size and position on symptoms following laser peripheral iridotomy

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 2005
To evaluate visual disturbances following laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI). Patients sometimes note visual disturbances following laser peripheral iridotomy. The purpose of this study was to provide what we believe to be the first systematic evaluation of these visual disturbances, including a determination of whether or not they are associated with ...

Semiconductor Diode Laser Peripheral Iridotomy

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1990
To the Editor. —The ruby, argon, and neodymium-YAG lasers have each been used as an alternative to surgical iridectomy for the purpose of creating an opening in the iris. The semiconductor diode laser is a small, portable, light-weight laser that uses standard current and is air cooled.

Picosecond Neodymium: Yttrium Lithium Fluoride (Nd:YLF) Laser Peripheral Iridotomy

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1995
We evaluated the picosecond neodymium:yttrium lithium fluoride (Nd:YLF) laser for performing peripheral iridotomies of predetermined size and shape in various types of irides.In the first part of the study, we determined operating parameters from performing 60 iridotomies in human cadaver eyes.

Efficacy of neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser iridotomies in primary angle-closure diseases: superior peripheral iridotomy versus inferior peripheral iridotomy

Current Medical Research and Opinion, 2017
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of superior peripheral iridotomy versus inferior peripheral iridotomy in the treatment of primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) in phakic patients.In this randomized, prospective, paired-eye comparative study, patients with primary angle closure or primary angle-closure suspects were recruited and randomized to ...

Outcomes of Laser Peripheral Iridotomy in Angle Closure Disease

Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2013
To evaluate the long-term outcomes of laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) in primary angle closure disease.We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all Indian subjects of primary angle closure (PAC) and primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) who underwent LPI between 2003 and 2004.

Cataract Surgery for Residual Angle Closure after Peripheral Laser Iridotomy

Ophthalmology, 2005
To investigate the frequency of residual angle closure after resolution of pupillary blocking by laser peripheral iridotomy and the effects of subsequent cataract surgery to resolve angle closure completely.Retrospective, consecutive, interventional study.Among 70 eyes treated with laser iridotomy, 13 with residual angle closure were treated with ...

Laser peripheral iridotomy across the spectrum of primary angle closure

Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2007
To study the effectiveness of Nd:YAG laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) for primary angle closure in Asian Indian patients.Retrospective analyses of patients who underwent LPI and completed a minimum follow-up of 2 years. Eyes were classified as primary angle-closure suspects (PACS), primary angle closure (PAC), and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG).
