Abstract
Laser iridectomy relieves pupillary block and is the procedure of choice for angle-closure glaucoma. Since not all cases of angle closure glaucoma are due to this mechanism, iridectomy is not always curative. Argon laser peripheral iridoplasty causes a contraction of peripheral iris away from the trabecular meshwork, and is useful in these circumstances. We successfully treated bilateral acute angle-closure glaucoma in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome with this procedure.
