Laser peripheral iridotomy is a painless procedure done to treat angle-closure glaucoma. In this procedure, an additional opening is created surgically over the iris to make an extra draining channel through which the raised pressure inside the eyes is relieved. It is a quick and effective procedure that takes ten minutes to complete. The hole created can be about 1.5 to 2 millimeters in size to ensure adequate eye fluid drainage.
