Laser peripheral iridoplasty is a laser treatment used to treat angle-closure glaucoma by creating small burns in the peripheral iris to widen the drainage angle. This procedure helps to open the blocked angle and improve the flow of aqueous humor, reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) and preventing further damage to the optic nerve.

Laser peripheral iridoplasty is typically used in acute cases of angle-closure glaucoma when the drainage angle is too narrow, and medication is not sufficient. It is a minimally invasive procedure with quick results and can help stabilize the condition.

The procedure is effective in reducing IOP and preventing further glaucoma-related complications.
