Nd-YAG Laser for iris depigmentation
Elshimaa A.Mateen
Sohag, Egypt
Monitoring intra-ocular pressure (IOP) by the standard Goldman applanation tonometer before and after ND-YAG Laser for iris depigmentation
Session of Nd-YAG Laser targeting the iris using power less than that used for peripheral iridotomy causing pigment bleaching to change the iris colour for cosmoses, which may cause pigmentary glaucoma (secondary open angle glaucoma).
Time frame: one year
Safety of ND-YAG Laser, by visual acuity assessment in log-mar subjectively by using Snellen chart before and after ND-YAG Laser
If ND-YAG LASER could affect visual acuity.
Time frame: one year
