| YAG Laser Surgery | | | | |
| Due to the use of a YAG (yttrium-aluminum-garnet) | | | | Iridectomy/ Iridotomy : - |
| laser to do surgery hence the term so. One use for a | | | | Treatment for lowering intraocular pressure when |
| YAG laser in surgery is to punch a hole in the iris to | | | | flow of aqueous humour between the lens and the |
| relieve increased pressure within the eye from acute | | | | iris is blocked. A hole is created in the iris with the |
| angle-closure glaucoma. In this type of glaucoma, | | | | YAG laser. This treatment is performed when there |
| there is a sudden (acute) increase in pressure in the | | | | is an obstruction in the flow of aqueous humour |
| anterior (front) chamber of the eye due to abrupt | | | | between the crystalline lens and the iris (angle-closure |
| blockage of the normal circulation of fluid within the | | | | glaucoma and chronic glaucoma with a narrow |
| eye. | | | | chamber angle)... |
| There are other kinds of YAG laser surgery for the | | | | |
| eye (e.g., for cataracts) and other areas of the body | | | | Trabeculotomy/Goniotomy : - |
| including the skin (e.g., to remove birth marks). | | | | Treatment of glaucoma. An opening is created with |
| | | | | the YAG laser in the tissues responsible for the the |
| Steps Of Yag Laser Surgery | | | | outflow of aqueous humour, in cases of obstruction |
| YAG LASER produces a concentrated beam of light | | | | or blockage. Trabeculotomy is rarely performed with |

| This laser beam can create a smooth ,fine opening of | | | | Removal Of Synechiae : - |
