Scientific titleA randomised prospective study to evaluate laser peripheral iridotomy with YAG laser against sequential argon-YAG laser in dark irides
Study objectivesTo identify the advantages of combined argon-YAG laser iridotomy versus YAG laser alone, in patients of darkly pigmented irides.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedEye Diseases: Pigmentation disorders
Intervention1. Pure YAG laser
2. Argon-YAG Laser
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measureTotal YAG laser power utilised
Secondary outcome measures1. Complications (iris haemorrhage, elevated intraocular pressure, intraocular inflammation, focal corneal opacity)
2. Patency of laser iridotomy after single treatment
3. Cost implications of 2 laser treatments versus need for failed iridotomy requiring a second treatment
Overall study start date23/08/2006
Completion date22/01/2007
