Abstract

A double-masked study randomly assigned 60 eyes of 60 patients undergoing neodymium: YAG (Nd:YAG) laser iridotomy to pretreatment with either placebo (group 1) or 2% dorzolamide eyedrops in a single dose (group 2). Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured 30 minutes and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 24 hours after iridotomy. Group 2 pressures were lower and returned to normal levels faster than in group 1. Thus, dorzolamide used preoperatively may safeguard IOP.
