ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To report on 8 patients who developed prolonged mydriasis after argon laser peripheral iridoplasty (ALPI).DESIGN:
Retrospective case series.METHODS:
A review of the charts of 8 patients with persistent occludable angles after laser iridotomy who developed mydriasis after undergoing ALPI.RESULTS:
12 eyes of 8 patients (mean age 50.2, standard deviation 6.9, range 40-61 years) developed persistent dilatation. 7 of 8 patients had plateau iris syndrome. Only one patient had a decrease in visual acuity. Intraocular pressure increased only in 1 eye and remained stable or decreased in the others. Of the 8 patients, 7 had blurred vision, 2 had photophobia, 4 had glare and 1 had discomfort. The pupillary response to pilocarpine instillation was minimal or absent. Mydriasis eventually resolved in all eyes without treatment.CONCLUSION:
ALPI can be complicated by mydriasis unresponsive to pilocarpine. Mydriasis and accompanying symptoms resolved spontaneously within 1 year in most patients.
