[Nd-YAG laser iridotomy in pigment dispersion syndrome and pigment dispersion glaucoma].

O Schwenn1, B Shah, A Vogel, S H Yun.   

Abstract

Pigment dispersion syndrome is characterized by iris transillumination defects, Krukenberg spindels, and dense trabecular pigmentation. Additional features are bilaterality, myopia, concavity of the peripheral iris, a higher incidence in men than in woman,and young age of onset. A mechanism of reverse pupillary block causes iridozonular friction. Laser iridotomy is recommended as treatment to prevent further pigment dispersion and pigmentary glaucoma.
