AbstractPurpose: To assess the efficacy and safety of ultralow fluence laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI). Methods: Twenty-two cases of primary angle closure suspects were recruited. All had ultralow fluence LPI using pattern scan laser followed by Nd:YAG laser. All cases were followed up for 6 months. Results: No cases had IOP spike at 1-hour following laser (post mean 12.6 ± 2.9 mmHg vs. baseline mean 15.6 ± 2.3 mmHg). Only 2 eyes had IOP increase of 0.5 mmHg on Day 1. There were no complications during or after the procedure. There was no significant corneal endothelial cell loss at 6 months (baseline: 2359 ± 298 vs. 6 months: 2269 ± 455, P = .47). Conclusion: Ultralow fluence LPI has a very promising safety profile when compared with traditional sequential laser.
