Laser Peripheral Iridotomy Cost In Anadolu Medical Center Kocaeli

Laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) is the preferred procedure for treating angle-closure glaucoma caused by relative or absolute pupillary block. LPI eliminates pupillary block by allowing the aqueous to pass directly from the posterior chamber into the anterior chamber, bypassing the pupil.
During the Laser Peripheral Iridotomy procedure, the eye is anesthetized, followed by the patient's set up in front of the laser, which looks like the typical examination microscope. Then a contact lens is temporarily placed on the eye and the laser beam is aimed and multiple laser shots are placed into the iris.
