  • Title: Argon laser iridotomy in angle closure glaucoma.
    Author: Rohatgi J, Bose S, Lamba PA.
    Journal: Indian J Ophthalmol; 1987; 35(5-6):285-9. PubMed ID: 3508793.
    Abstract:
    Argon laser iridotomy was successfully performed in 30 eyes of glaucoma patients. A modified two stage procedure has been described to achieve a successful iridotomy in pigmented eyes. At the chosen site of laser iridotomy, partial thickness burns were applied in the first stage followed by a penetrating burns in the second stage. This minimised the complications associated with laser iridotomy and decreased the incidence of subsequent closure. At the end of 6 months follow up the success rate was 93.3 percent.
