Laser peripheral iridotomy is the treatment for angle-closure disease. During the procedure, your eye doctor will use a laser to create a tiny hole in the coloured part of your eye, the iris. This little hole provides an alternate drainage pathway for the fluid inside the eye. Remember, this impaired fluid drainage can lead to an increase in eye pressure, leading to glaucoma.

Gonioscopy is one of the special tests for glaucoma. During gonioscopy, your doctor checks the drainage angle of the eye. This is essential to diagnose, classify and manage glaucoma.
