Jan 31, 2020 · Synechiae are adhesions of the iris to ocular structures which can cause issues of aqueous blockage, pupil dilation, and more. Anterior synechaie are at the angle of the eye where the peripheral iris impedes aqueous drainage and can lead to angle closure glaucoma.

Laser synechiolysis was performed in the synechiae not exceeding the extent of one clock hour and reaching only to the iris sphincter, whereas surgical synechiolysis was performed in other diffuse and/or thick synechiae.

Nov 13, 2013 · Photodisruption with the neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser can effectively treat a number of disorders arising after cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.

An ocular synechia is an eye condition characterized by the adhesion of the iris to either the cornea or lens. Adhesion to the cornea is known as anterior synechiae, while adhesion to the lens is known as posterior synechiae.

Significant advantages of Nd: Y AG laser for synechio lysis over argon photomydriasis are a much higher degree of an apparently lasting effectiveness, and minimal disturbance of iris function as evidenced by good motility post Nd:YAG laser.

Sep 22, 2021 · Question: I am performing iris synechiolysis of adhesions during a cataract surgery. How should the claim be submitted? For example, do I submit both 66984 Cataract surgery with IOL and 65865 Severing adhesions of anterior segment of eye, incisional technique (with or without injection of air or liquid) (separate procedure); goniosynechiae?

Trauma to the iris can present in various ways depending on its location and severity. Tears at the pupillary border can damage the sphincter muscle, thus leading to an atonic, mydriatic, or partially reactive pupil. Tears at the iris root lead to iridodialysis.

Dec 6, 2019 · In patients with prior uveitis, synechiae between the iris and the anterior lens capsule can develop. These adhesions will prevent the pupil from dilating during cataract surgery and they will make it more difficult to stain the anterior lens capsule with Trypan blue dye.

Oct 17, 2019 · Our approach is to place small drops of trypan blue dye under the iris to stain the capsule, prior to filling the anterior chamber with dispersive viscoelastic. Click below to learn this technique and see lysis synechiae: Quiz: Why does this pupil look irregular?

Apr 3, 2025 · Lysis of posterior synechiae. (A) Use of a viscoelastic cannula to lyse individual synechiae. (B) The pupil usually remains small even after successful lysis of extensive posterior synechiae.
