  Objective: There is controversy surrounding the next best step in treating plateau iris syndrome (PIS) patients with persistent angle dysfunction despite a patent laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI). The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of argon laser peripheral iridoplasty (ALPI) in PIS patients with a patent LPI. Methods: Retrospective review of medical records in consecutive patients that underwent ALPI to treat persistently narrow angles due to underlying PIS after a patent LPI. Patients in whom angle configuration could not be ascertained by review of medical records, those with less than 12 months follow-up at our institution, or those younger than 18 years of age were excluded. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to determine treatment survival time. Paired t-tests were used to compare intraocular .. View More»
