Laser Peripheral Iridotomy

2020
Laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) is a procedure for managing angle-closure glaucoma caused by relative or absolute pupillary block. LPI eliminates pupillary block by allowing the aqueous to pass directly from the posterior chamber into the anterior chamber, bypassing the pupillary opening.

Peripheral Iridotomy Using Nd:YLF Laser

Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 1992
ABSTRACT We used the Nd:YLF Oscillator/Regenerative Amplifier Laser (ISL, San Diego, Calif) at 1053 nm to perform peripheral iridotomies in three eyes. The total amount of energy required was greater than the usual amount needed in Nd:YAG peripheral iridotomies.

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 ...
