Laser iridectomy with combined application of the argon and the Nd-YAG laser was perfomed on 48 eyes with narrow angle glaucoma. Patients were followed for from minimum 3 months to maximm 18 months and were evaluated the success rate of
iridectomy
patency, the postoperative intraocualr pressure(after 3 months), the number of application and the postoperative complication.
@ES In this study, the results obtained are as follows:
@EN 1) Patency rates of iridectomy site were 87.5%.
2) Postoperative intraocular pressure was well controlled except 3 months later (19mmHg>), and the number of prophylactic contralateral healthy eye was 17.
3) Postoperative complications were transient eccentric pupil, corneal burn, mild iritis and hyphema, IOP spiking and localized anterior capsular opacity.
Additional laser iridectomy were needed in 4 cases and trabeculectomy were 2 cases.
