Prophylactic laser peripheral iridotomy and cataract progression
Eye, 2010 To determine whether prophylactic laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) for primary angle closure (PAC) is associated with cataract progression.In 1999, Mongolian volunteers aged>or=50 years were invited to participate in a longitudinal study. Glaucoma was excluded in all participants and 712 of them were selected to undergo a full ophthalmic examination as

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 ...
