A randomised prospective comparison of operative peripheral iridectomy and Nd:YAG laser iridotomy treatment of acute angle closure glaucoma: 3 year visual acuity and intraocular pressure control outcome.
AIM To compare visual acuity and intraocular pressure outcomes 3 years after treatment of acute angle closure glaucoma (AACG) by operative peripheral iridectomy (PI) or Nd:YAG laser iridotomy (YAG PI). METHODS A prospective study of consecutive patients presenting to one ophthalmology department with uniocular AACG during a 2 year period. Following informed consent patients were randomised to...
متن کاملAppositional angle closure in Chinese with primary angle closure and primary angle closure glaucoma after laser peripheral iridotomy.
PURPOSE To determine the prevalence of appositional angle closure (AAC) after laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) in the eyes of Chinese patients with primary angle closure (PAC) and primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) and to evaluate its pathogenesis by investigating anatomic characteristics. METHODS This was a cross-sectional observational study. PAC and PACG subjects were consecutively enro...
متن کاملResident-performed laser peripheral iridotomy in primary angle closure, primary angle closure suspects, and primary angle closure glaucoma
PURPOSE To investigate the power use and complication frequency of resident-performed laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI). METHODS A retrospective analysis of 196 eyes from 103 patients who underwent neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser iridotomy performed by resident physicians from January 1, 2010 through April 30, 2015 at a university-based county hospital was done.

متن کاملPeripheral iridectomy in angle-closure glaucoma: a common complication.
ALTHOUGH prophylactic peripheral iridectomy is probably one of the most satisfactory operations in the whole of surgery if carefully performed on carefully selected cases, we have the clinical impression that posterior synechiae in the part of the pupil related to the iridectomy can be a common complication. Posterior synechiae following peripheral iridectomy were mentioned by Lowe (1962). The ...
متن کاملEvaluation of laser iridectomy in angle-closure glaucoma: provocative tests.
An argon laser iridectomy was performed on 18 eyes of 14 patients with closed-angle glaucoma. The intraocular pressure (IOP) was controlled in all but one eye within normal limits. Variable amounts of pigment were found on gonioscopy in all cases. The mydriasis test was positive in one eye (5.5%) after homatropine and in 5 eyes (28%) after tropicamide drops. 80% of the positive results occurred...
