  • Title: Neodymium:YAG laser therapy for pseudophakic pupillary block.
    Author: Cinotti DJ, Maltzman BA, Reiter DJ, Cinotti AA.
    Journal: J Cataract Refract Surg; 1986 Mar; 12(2):174-9. PubMed ID: 3754578.
    Abstract:
    Pupillary block occurred in six patients with anterior chamber intraocular lens implants. After medical therapy failed, the Nd:YAG laser was used to break the hyaloid face in the pupillary and iridectomy apertures. Iridotomies were also produced at the sites of bulging iris. Following laser treatment the anterior chambers deepened and there were no further signs or symptoms of pupillary block. The Nd:YAG laser proved to be a useful treatment for pseudophakic pupillary block.
