    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Procedures

    Background:

    • Angle closure glaucoma and plateau iris configuration present challenges in intraocular pressure management.
    • Medically intractable cases require effective and safe interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of laser iridoplasty.
    • To assess its utility in managing medically unbreakable angle closure glaucoma and plateau iris configurations.

    Main Methods:

    • Laser iridoplasty was performed on 15 eyes.
    • Seven eyes had medically unbreakable angle closure glaucoma.
    • Eight eyes had plateau iris configuration.

    Main Results:

    • Intraocular pressure was successfully controlled in 13 out of 15 eyes.
