Iridectomy is a surgical procedure in which a portion of the iris, the colored part of the eye, is removed. This procedure is primarily performed to treat angle-closure glaucoma, a condition where the drainage angle of the eye becomes blocked, causing a rapid increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) that can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss. By removing part of the iris, iridectomy creates an opening that allows fluid (aqueous humor) to flow more freely within the eye, reducing pressure and preventing further damage. Iridectomy can be performed using traditional surgical methods or with a laser, known as laser iridotomy, which is less invasive and commonly preferred. In both cases, the goal is to restore normal fluid circulation within the eye and alleviate the pressure that could otherwise lead to blindness. This procedure may also be done prophylactically for patients at high risk of developing angle-closure glaucoma. Complications from iridectomy, though rare, can include infection, bleeding, inflammation, and damage to surrounding eye structures. Some patients may experience temporary vision disturbances, such as blurry vision or seeing halos around lights, which usually resolve over time. In rare cases, more severe complications, such as retinal detachment or persistent high intraocular pressure, can occur. Despite these risks, iridectomy is an effective procedure for preventing and managing acute angle-closure glaucoma, offering significant protection against permanent vision loss when performed promptly and appropriately.
