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).

Diode Laser-Pumped, Frequency-Doubled Neodymium:YAG Laser Peripheral Iridotomy

Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 1997
* BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The solid state, continuous-wave, frequency-doubled neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser pumped by a diode laser has several advantages, including air cooling, higher electrical to optical efficiency ratios, portability, and the use of standard 110-V AC electrical service.

Role of lens extraction and laser peripheral iridotomy in treatment of glaucoma

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2018
Lens extraction in people with coexisting cataract and open angle glaucoma is associated with a reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP). In primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG), lens extraction and laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) can be used to open the anterior chamber angle, increase the outflow through the trabecular meshwork and reduce the IOP ...

Neodymium:YAG Laser Peripheral Iridotomy: Cause of a Visually Incapacitating Cataract?

Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 2006
<P>Neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser peripheral iridotomy is the procedure of choice to treat and avoid further episodes of angle-closure glaucoma. A patient who developed a visually incapacitating posterior subcapsular lens opacity shortly after Nd:YAG laser peripheral iridotomy is described. The patient underwent cataract surgery and achieved a good

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.

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 ...
