Background 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.
Laser iridotomy is also done on the fellow eye of a patient who has had an angle closure of one eye, as the probability of an angle closure in the second eye is 50%. There are other indications for laser iridotomy.
