Peripheral iridectomy in closed-angle glaucoma.
PERIPHERAL iridectomy has become an accepted method of treating closedangle glaucoma.

It is the ideal operation for early cases of closed-angle glaucom...

In addition, many surgeons now adopt the policy of performing a prophylactic peripheral iridectomy on the other eye of a patient who has suffered an attack of angle-c...

Of 70 eyes with therapeutic peripheral iridectomy (PI), 51 % suffered a loss of two or more lines on the Snellen chart; 57% developed posterior synechiae (PS) and 57% showed lens opacities. Thirty-three per cent of eyes that underwent PI prophylactically had a vision drop of two lines or more, 39% developed PS and 42% showed varying degrees of lens opacities.
