What is Laser Iridotomy

Laser Iridotomy is a procedure that uses a laser to make a tiny hole in the colored part of the eye, called the iris.This hole is used to relieve pressure in the eye caused by a condition called angle-closure glaucoma.

The procedure is done in a doctor's office and takes only a few minutes.During the procedure, the patient will be given numbing drops so they don't feel any pain.

The laser creates a small hole in the iris, allowing fluid to escape and reducing pressure in the eye.After the procedure, the patient will be monitored for a few hours to make sure the pressure in the eye has been reduced.

Patients may experience some blurriness or light sensitivity for a few days after the procedure.Laser Iridotomy is a safe and effective way to treat angle-closure glaucoma and can help to prevent vision loss.

Causes of Laser Iridotomy

Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma (PACG): This is a condition in which the drainage angle of the eye is blocked, resulting in an increase in intraocular pressure.
Chronic Angle Closure Glaucoma (CACG): This is similar to PACG, but the blockage of the drainage angle is more gradual and may not present symptoms until it has caused permanent damage to the optic nerve.
Primary Pigmentary Glaucoma: This is a genetic condition in which the drainage angle of the eye is blocked due to the accumulation of pigment.
Pigment Dispersion Syndrome: This is a condition in which pigment from the iris is dispersed throughout the eye, resulting in the blockage of the drainage angle.
Neovascular Glaucoma: This is a condition in which new blood vessels grow in the drainage angle of the eye, blocking the flow of fluid and resulting in an increase in intraocular pressure.

Is there any option other than Laser Iridotomy

Medicated eye drops: Medicated eye drops can help reduce eye pressure, which is a major factor in angle closure glaucoma, one of the conditions that can be treated with an iridotomy.
Oral medications: Alpha-adrenergic agonists, beta-blockers, and other oral medications can help reduce intraocular pressure and prevent the progression of angle closure glaucoma.
Drainage devices: Implantation of a drainage device can help reduce intraocular pressure by allowing fluid to drain from the eye.
Laser trabeculoplasty: A laser is used to create tiny holes in the trabecular meshwork of the eye, allowing for increased drainage and reduced intraocular pressure.
Miotics: Miotics are drugs that cause pupil constriction, which can help reduce intraocular pressure and prevent further progression of angle closure glaucoma.

Absolutely love how understanding Dr. Kumud Raut is. The only place where I have not been told about only the process of getting a surgery, but rather they insist on educating about how the eye functions and the importance of having a healthy eye before any surgery.
