title: [Influence of iridial anatomic and structural characteristics on the choice of the optimum laser interventions in the treatment of glaucomas].
abstract: Long-term studies using a great deal of clinical material (200 eyes) have revealed a role of iridial anatomic and structural characteristics in the choice of the optimum laser interventions in the treatment of both closed- and open-angle glaucoma. A differential approach to choosing a method for laser iridectomy, by taking into account the iridial structure in angle-closure glaucoma enables iridial coloboma to be formed in the vast majority (98.3%) of cases. Clinical studies of the efficiency of laser treatment in open-angle glaucoma have shown that the magnitude of iridial tissue dystrophy is an informative clinical sign, which makes it possible to elaborate preferable indications for both laser goniopuncture and laser trabeculoplasty.
