Background/aims:Prophylactic laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) is performed in primary angle-closure suspect (PACS) eyes to prevent acute angle-closure attacks. However, accelerated cataractogenesis is a potential risk of the procedure that may result in decreased visual acuity. We aimed to assess ...
The VISULAS®yag laser from ZEISS is a modern and compact laser workstation for safe and effective photodisruption. This application-based laser allows you to perform posterior capsulotomy for a high variety of IOLs and iridotomy. Contact us ...
Peripheral iridotomy:Lasers have long replaced surgical iridectomies for the treatment of angle-closure glaucoma. This noninvasive laser procedure is performed prophylactically in eyes with narrow or occludable angles. The laser energy required ranges from 4-10mJ depending on the iris thickness and ...

Nd:YAG laser iridotomy initially achieved relief of pupil block in all the eyes undergoing this procedure. However, the overall success rate of Nd:YAG iridotomies over the 3 months' follow-up period fell to 78 per cent due to inability of small iridotomies to relieve pupil block (4 eyes...
Complications such as pupil block glaucoma can be treated very effectively by making an iridotomy or a hole in the vitreous face with this new instrument. There can be no doubt that the availability of a Neodymium YAG laser will alter the extracapsular surgeon's approach, so that primary ...

Thirteen patients presented with monocular blurring or a bluish or colored line after the laser procedure. Each eye had a patent iridotomy partially exposed by the upper lid. When the iridotomy was fully covered or fully exposed, symptoms disappeared. Symptoms also were relieved with tinted lenses...
To elucidate the phenomenon in a qualitative and quantitative manner, YAG laser iridotomy was performed in a series of cataractous eyes prior to surgery. Using an airjet tonometer without anaesthesia careful follow-up of IOP before and after the laser procedure was possible. The IOP levels of ...
