Acute angle closure glaucoma: relative failure of YAG iridotomy in affected eyes and factors influencing outcome.
The treatment of acute angle closure glaucoma has been influenced by the development of the YAG laser and its ability to perform iridotomies as an outpatient procedure. In this retrospective study the results of YAG iridotomy were compared with surgical peripheral iridectomy. When compared with surgical peripheral iridectomy patients, YAG iridotomy patients were at greater risk of proceeding to...
متن کاملNeodymium-YAG laser iridotomy in angle closure glaucoma: preliminary study.
A prospective short-term preliminary clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and immediate complications of Q-switched Nd-YAG laser iridotomy in the treatment of acute and chronic angle closure glaucoma is described. The follow-up period ranged from four to 10 months. Of 40 eyes treated 36 (90%) required a single lasing session for patency (19, one application; 17, two applications), and four e...

متن کاملFluorophotometric measurements of aqueous-humor flow in post-YAG laser iridotomy for acute angle closure
Objective This study compared the rates of aqueous-humor flow and trabecular outflow in eyes that had undergone YAG laser iridotomy (LI) for primary-acute-angleclosure (PAC) attack and primary-angle-closure suspect (PACS). Methods Patients who had PAC attack in one eye and narrow occludable angles (PACS) in the other eye that had undergone YAG LI were recruited. All underwent complete ophthalmo...
متن کاملEfficacy of laser iridotomy in early primary angle-closure glaucoma
Objective: This study aims to investigate the clinical results of applying laser iridotomy to early primary angle-closure glaucoma. Method: One hundred forty-eight patients with early primary angle-closure glaucoma were selected as research subjects. They were divided into observation and control groups. Each group included 74 patients. The observation group underwent laser iridotomy treatment ...
