YAG laser iridotomy is a preventive and treatment procedure used in certain types of glaucoma, creating a small opening in the iris to improve fluid drainage and reduce dangerously high eye pressure.

Symptoms

Angle-closure glaucoma, which this procedure often addresses, can cause eye pain, headache, blurred vision, haloes around lights, and in acute cases, sudden severe eye pain with nausea.

Treatment and Process

Using a YAG laser, a tiny opening is created in the iris to allow fluid to flow more freely within the eye, lowering pressure and reducing the risk of an acute glaucoma attack. The procedure is quick, performed under numbing drops, with minimal discomfort.
