青光眼是全球第二大致盲眼病,第一大不可逆性致盲眼病,其中原发性闭角型青光眼(primary angle closure glaucoma,PACG)占 25%。激光周边虹膜切除术(laser peripheral iridotomy,LPI)已成为 PACG 和原发性房角关闭的一线治疗。LPI 机制为利用激光在周边虹膜上打孔,解除 PACG 的瞳孔阻滞,加深前房,扩大房角,恢复生理性房水排出途径,从而降低眼压。研究表明 LPI 在原发性房角关闭各个疾病进程中均能比较好的控制眼压,是相对安全的治疗方法。
Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness and the most common cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) accounts for 25% of glaucoma. Laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) has become the first line treatment for PACG and primary angle closure (PAC). The mechanism of LPI is to use laser to create a hole in peripheral iris to relieve pupil block, deepen anterior chamber, expand chamber angle, restore pathway of physiological aqueous discharge and reduce intraocular pressure. Studies have shown that LPI can control intraocular pressure well in all stages of PAC, which is safe for PAC.
