Hyphema Complicating Laser Iridotomy

Initial clinical experience with the picosecond Nd:YLF laser for intraocular therapeutic applications

“…Minor intraoperative iris bleeding was more frequent following ps iridectomies (65%) than after ns iridotomies (50%). No hyphaema was observed on the first postoperative day as sometimes is reported after ns iridotomies 20. The incidence of iris haemorrhages was larger for 750 compared with 500 μm sized ps iridectomies, owing to the increased probability of hitting an iris vessel with the increased pattern size.…”

Massive Hyphaema Following Laser Iridotomy in a Patient on Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (Aspirin plus Ticagrelor): Case report and literature review

“…Bleeding seems to be less frequent with photocoagulating lasers because of the thermal coagulation effect. However, at least one case of significant hyphaema following peripheral iridotomy using an Argon laser has been reported 3. The sequential use of two different types of laser—photocoagulating and photodisruptive— has also been reported to diminish the risk of bleeding 13,14…”

Descemet’s membrane detachment after Nd:YAG laser iridotomy in a patient with pseudoexfoliation

“…This is a relatively safe procedure with low incidence of complications. The various complications reported after LPI include transient rise in intraocular pressure (IOP), inflammation, corneal endothelial cell damage, focal cataract, bleeding of the iris and dysphotopsias 1–4. Descemet’s membrane detachment (DMD) is an uncommon condition that occurs as a complication of an intraocular surgery or after trauma 5.…”
