Why is laser iridotomy for glaucoma done?
Laser iridotomy is mainly used to try to:
- Treat closed-angle glaucoma after the pressure in the affected eye has been reduced with medicine or when medicines fail.
- Prevent closed-angle glaucoma in people who have narrow drainage angles and those people who have had closed-angle glaucoma in their other eye.
