PURPOSE: To identify the prognostic factors for successful laser iridotomy for acute angle-closure glaucoma (AACG).
METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 77 eyes of 77 patients with AACG with initial intraocular pressure (IOP) above 40 mmHg. All of the patients received maximum tolerable medical therapy (MTMT) followed by laser iridotomy. In order to comparatively analyze the factors affecting successful laser iridotomy, an increase in IOP on follow-up was defined as increase in IOP greater than 21 mmHg requiring medical or surgical treatment.
RESULTS: Successful laser iridotomy was achieved in 59.7% (46/77 eyes). Thirty-one eyes (40.3%) exhibited increased IOP on follow-up, and of these, 30 eyes developed an increase in IOP within six months after the first attack. The success rate was higher (92.9%) in 42 patients who had greater than 30% IOP reduction by MTMT at the first attack compared to the 35 patients whose IOP reduction was less than 30%, of which 24 eyes (72.7%) showed more than 30% IOP reduction after intravenous hyperosmotic agent treatment (p=0.012). The success rate was higher in patients treated within seven days after the development of symptoms than in those treated after seven days (Odds ratio, 4.51; 95% confidence interval, 1.38 to 14.75).
CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that we can expect successful IOP control after laser iridotomy in eyes with AACG if the patient can be treated within seven days after the development of symptoms and if the IOP reduction was more than 30% by MTMT.
