The treatment of acute angle closure glaucoma has been influenced by the development of the YAG laser and its ability to perform iridotomies as an outpatient procedure. In this retrospective study the results of YAG iridotomy were compared with surgical peripheral iridectomy. When compared with surgical peripheral iridectomy patients, YAG iridotomy patients were at greater risk of proceeding to further surgery, with this risk being significantly associated with increasing duration of attack. The authors suggest that in selected cases, surgical iridectomy should be given consideration as a primary procedure.
YAG激光的发展及其作为门诊手术进行虹膜切开术的能力，对急性闭角型青光眼的治疗产生了影响。在这项回顾性研究中，将YAG虹膜切开术的结果与手术周边虹膜切除术进行了比较。与接受手术周边虹膜切除术的患者相比，接受YAG虹膜切开术的患者进行进一步手术的风险更高，且这种风险与发作持续时间的增加显著相关。作者建议，在某些特定情况下，应考虑将手术虹膜切除术作为首选手术。
