Changes in the anterior segment following the laser peripheral iridotomy (PI). Anterior segment optical coherence tomography images (A) before and (B) immediately after laser PI. (C,D) slit-lamp photographs taken 1 day after laser PI of the right eye of this patient. (A) Anterior segment optical coherence tomography showed an iris bombe with iridocorneal touch at the pupillary block with angle closure glaucoma. (B) Immediate after laser PI, the iris bombe was resolved and peripheral anterior chamber was deepened. (C,D) One day after laser PI, slit-lamp examination showed deep anterior chamber and patent PI site at 10.5 o’ clock (arrow). Informed consent for publication of the clinical images was obtained from the patient.
