Figure 8. Plateau Iris Syndrome Before and After
Laser Peripheral Iridoplasty
AC, anterior chamber; C, cornea; CB, ciliary body with ciliary processes; I, iris; S, sclera
Plateau iris syndrome before (le) and aer (right) laser peripheral iridoplasty, with
opening of the angle recess and iris-trabecular meshwork apposition (black arrows)
following iridoplasty, which results from the thermal laser energ y absorbed by the iris
tissue, leading to atrophy and thinning of the iris periphery (seen in the photo on the
right). is thinning leads to elimination of angle closure and intraocular pressure
elevation, with dilation seen aer iridoplasty.
