Episode 73: Acute Angle Closure Management
This week, we return to acute angle closure and discuss how to manage this challenging disease. All residents will eventually need to know how to tackle this in the ED!
We reference this video during the episode, a demonstration of the Argon Laser Peripheral Iridoplasty technique, by Dr. Christopher Teng: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2NYixE_0xQ
He also has videos demonstrating the traditional Laser Peripheral Iridotomy technique as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVicnPkZ6WA&pbjreload=102
