Unilateral Decompression Retinopathy After Laser Iridotomy in a Patient with Bilateral Acute Angle-Closure Glaucoma.

Acute angle closure glaucoma is an ocular pathology characterized by a severe increase of intraocular pressure (IOP) that requires the realization of a peripheral Nd:YAG laser iridotomy as a treatment. Several complications have been described after a peripheral laser iridotomy such as hyphema, endothelial corneal damage, intraocular pressure spikes or cataract.
