Angle-closure glaucoma in nanophthalmos

R L Kimbrough et al. Am J Ophthalmol. 1979 Sep.

Abstract

Two patients had nanophthalmos with uveal effusion and angle-closure glaucoma. They were treated with a method based on the use of the laser, not only to perform iridotomy but to shrink the iris stroma, which appears to open the anterior chamber angle even without iridotomy. Additionally, we introduced three factors that may be diagnostic of nanophthalmos.
