Glaucoma Laser Treatment (Iridotomy/Iridoplasty)

For certain types of glaucoma, particularly narrow-angle glaucoma, precise laser treatments like Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI) or Peripheral Iridoplasty can be highly effective in preventing or managing vision loss. These procedures aim to improve the drainage of fluid from your eye, thereby lowering eye pressure and protecting your optic nerve. If your eye specialist has identified you as at risk for angle closure or needs to manage existing high eye pressure, these preventative or therapeutic laser treatments are crucial for maintaining your eye health.

Dr Nor’Ain provides comprehensive eye care, including the expert performance of LPI and Iridoplasty procedures.

These laser procedures are typically performed in the clinic and are relatively quick. After numbing your eye with drops, a special lens is used to guide the laser. For LPI, a tiny opening is made in your iris to improve fluid flow, while Iridoplasty uses laser energy to reshape the iris and open up the drainage angle. You might experience a brief flash of light or mild pressure during the procedure. These treatments are vital for reducing eye pressure and preventing further damage to your optic nerve, safeguarding your long-term vision.
