Abstract
- The first clinical trial of the Q-switch Nd:YAG laser iridectomy using Coherent model 9900 in Korea was carried out since March of 1985. 51 eye cases(48 patients) of acute and subacute narrow angle glaucoma were treated with a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser during the last one year and half. The results obtained are as follows; 1) Good results could be obtained by setting 3.0~4.9 mj with mean pulse energy of under 50. 2) Nd:YAG laser iridectomy site and normal intraocular pressure were maintained well. 3) Complications were encountered in 7 eyes(13.7%) but most cases were transitory without permanent damages.
