YAG Laser Iridotomy (per eye)

YAG Laser iridotomy is a medical procedure which uses a laser device to create a hole in the iris, thereby allowing aqueous humor to traverse directly from the posterior to the anterior chamber and, consequently, relieve a pupillary block.

It is used to treat a wide range of clinical conditions:

• primary angle‐closure glaucoma
• primary angle closure (narrow angles and no signs of glaucomatous optic neuropathy)
• primary angle‐closure suspects (patients with reversible obstruction)
• secondary causes of iridocorneal angle-closure
