Laser peripheral iridotomy with and without laser iridoplasty in management of primary angle closure
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Purpose To compare the efficacy and safety of laser peripheral iridotomy with or without laser peripheral iridoplasty in the treatment of eyes having primary angle closureMaterials and Methods Hundred eyes of 100 patients of primary angle closure were randomized to one of the two treatment options iridotomy or iridotomy plus iridoplasty and were followed up for at least 3 months Main outcome measures were intraocular pressure irido trabecular contact peripheral anterior synechiae and complicationsResult There was no significant difference between the two groups in the baseline data The IOP was reduced from 247464 mm Hg to 193258 mm Hg in iridotomy group pConclusion laser peripheral iridotomy plus iridoplasty leads to better control of intraocular pressure as compared to laser peripheral iridotomy alone in management of primary angle closure Iridoplasty relieves irido trabecular contact but has no influences on the extent of peripheral anterior synechiaeKeywords ALPI Laser iridoplasty Laser peripheral iridotomy Primary angle closure
