Laser Peripheral Iridotomy Reduces Acute Angle Closure Attack Following Mydriasis
Prophylactic laser peripheral iridotomy reduces the low risk of an acute angle closure attack in glaucoma suspects even further.

Clinicians should consider having conversations pertaining to well-being with patients with glaucoma and referring them to appropriate support services when necessary.
Clinicians should consider taking 2 AS-OCT images to accurately approximate the mean and 8 images to approximate the range of biometric measurements of angle width in angle closure eyes, a study suggests.
Manual gonioscopy remains the professional standard for angle imaging, but automated gonioscopy appears to serve as a worthwhile supplementary tool.
Researchers developed a prediction equation for the width of the angle after undergoing the procedure.
The study links narrower mean angle width and disease progression.
