Pupilloplasty with neodymium yag laser: two case reports
Abstract
Background: pupilloplasty consists in the modification of the size and shape of the pupil by the application of photocoagulation on the iris.
Objective: to describe the evolution of two clinical cases with different characteristics and present the utility, benefits and complications of the non-invading microsurgery with neodymium yag laser.
Clinical case: a description of two 70-years-old, white patients with ocular antecedents of pseudophakia was presented. They came to ophthalmology consultation complaining of irregular pupils and one of them suffered from low vision. A pupillolasty was performed in both cases with a considerable improvement of the pupil shape and vision.
Conclusions: the evolution of the cases was fast and satisfactory. A light bleeding was presented as a complication. This procedure has many advantages for the doctor and the patient. It is a useful and effective resource.
