  • Title: Pigmented pupillary pseudomembranes as a complication of argon laser iridotomy.
    Author: Geyer O, Mayron Y, Rothkoff L, Lazar M.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg; 1991 Mar; 22(3):162-4. PubMed ID: 2030900.
    Abstract:
    Two cases are reported in which pupillary pigment occlusion occurred after argon laser iridotomy, reducing visual acuity and preventing fundus visualization. Laser-induced inflammation and subsequent long-term miotic therapy are probably responsible for this complication. Periodic pupillary dilatation is recommended in eyes that require miotics to control their intraocular pressure after laser iridotomy.
