Dr Jocelyn Wu Eye Specialist Clinic | Comprehensive, Personalized & Modern Eye Care
YAG laser iridotomy is a laser procedure used to treat or prevent angle closure glaucoma and narrow-angle glaucoma. The laser creates a small opening in the iris to improve fluid drainage inside the eye and help reduce the risk of sudden eye pressure elevation. At Dr Jocelyn Wu Eye Specialist Clinic, this treatment is offered as part of comprehensive, personalized, and modern eye care for patients who need careful glaucoma assessment and timely intervention.
In eyes with narrow drainage angles, fluid inside the eye may not drain properly. This can increase the chance of angle closure and sudden pressure rise. YAG laser iridotomy creates a small opening in the iris, allowing better movement of fluid and helping reduce pressure-related risk. This may be important both for treatment and prevention, depending on the condition of the eye.
Recommendation for YAG laser iridotomy is based on detailed eye examination and glaucoma evaluation. At Dr Jocelyn Wu Eye Specialist Clinic, patients may undergo appropriate investigations such as eye pressure assessment, optic nerve evaluation, fundus examination, OCT eye scans, and automated perimetry visual field (HVF) tests where needed, to support accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Symptoms of angle closure glaucoma may include:
These symptoms can indicate urgent eye pressure elevation and should not be ignored. Early review is important to help prevent complications and vision loss.
