Abstract

Laser applications on iris for the treatment of glaucoma include laser iridotomy (LI) and laser peripheral iridoplasty (LPI). LI is a simple and effective modality for treatment of closed-angle glaucoma with pupillary block. LPI is an easy and effective treatment for closed angle in situations in which LI either cannot be performed or does not repair the appositional angle closure because mechanisms other than pupillary block are present. The aim of this review is to summarize the indications, technique details, and complications of laser applications on iris for the treatment of glaucoma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
