Abstract:
Peripheral iridotomy using combination of semiconductor laser 532 and YAG laser was performed on 35 eyes of 29 patients. All procedures were performed successfully and there was no significant change in visual acuity after treatment. One week after treatment, the intraocular pressure was 6.99 - 20.08 mm Hg(0.93 -2.67 kPa). Peripheral anterior chamber angles were all widened, no acceleration of lens opacity was observed. Combination of semiconductor laser and YAG laser peripheral iridotomy are safe and effective for angle closure treatment and can be performed in community hospitals.
