The peripheral iridotomy (PI) is one of the most common procedures in ophthalmology. In theory, the PI is performed to open up a narrow angle, both to prevent the chance of angle closure glaucoma, and to treat any component of chronic angle closure. But what does the evidence actually show? Practically speaking, how effective is the PI in preventing angle closure? What would happen if we were a bit more conservative in when we chose to do PIs?
