This comprehensive functional evaluation of laser iridotomy in early PAC eyes showed a significant reduction in the pupillary block component of IOP response to provocative testing, possibly decreasing IOP fluctuations over time. An iridotomy does not, however, significantly change mean IOP or diurnal phasing of IOP in PAC eyes. Eyes with a very narrow angle or a thick lens may continue to have angle closure due to other pathomechanisms for angle closure.
