It is the ideal operation for early cases of closed-angle glaucom...
متن کاملBasal iridectomy at 6 o'clock in the aphakic eye treated with silicone oil: prevention of keratopathy and secondary glaucoma.

In this situation aqueous humour accumulates behind the iris and forces silicone oil through the pupil into the anterior chamber. An iridectomy at the 6 o'clock position can effectively prevent this pupillary block. The iridectomy allows free passage of aqueous to the anterior chamber which rem...
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...
