摘要：

Objective: To assess the efficacy of Nd: YAG laser iridotomy as initial treatment for primary angle closure glaucoma. Methods: Eighty four eyes of 55 patients were treated with YAG laser and their results were assessed. Results: Patent iridotomies were present in 79 eyes out of 84 (94%) eyes. Twenty seven out of 84 (32.14 %) eyes were treated as failures. Conclusion: YAG laser iridotomy is effective in widening the drainage angle and reducing elevated intra ocular pressure.
