  1. Acute glaucoma is a real emergency, and the presentation can be pretty dramatic … most of the patients I’ve seen with this condition have come into my office with extreme eye pain. Often they are throwing up into the waste basket.

    To treat these, I attempt to perform a LPI laser procedure. Unfortunately, the cornea is pretty steamy, and the iris is plastered up against the back of the cornea, making it hard to get good laser uptake. In these cases, I often need to perform a surgical iridectomy in the operating room.
