Peripheral iridectomy in closed-angle glaucoma.
PERIPHERAL iridectomy has become an accepted method of treating closedangle glaucoma. During the last 4 years we have performed this operation on more than seventy eyes and the results have convinced us that this is one of the safest and most successful of all operations for glaucoma provided that the cases are properly selected. It is the ideal operation for early cases of closed-angle glaucom...
متن کاملPeripheral iridectomy in closed angle glaucoma - late complications
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. Although vision drop, lens opacitie...

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...
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 ...
