Abstract

We performed coreoplasty on drawn pupils(17 eyes) by using Argon laser only or Argon laser combined with Q-switched Nd:YAG laser from June 1983 to May 1989. The results were as follows; 1. The causes were divided by 7 eyes(41.2%) with trauma and 10 eyes(58.8%) without trauma. 2. There were 15 eyes(88.2%) in up-drawn pupils and 2 eyes(11.8%) in downdrawn pupils. 3. The degree of preoperative drawn pupil was 1.42mm in average and enlargement of postoperative drawn pupil was 1.25mm in average. The corrected effect for preoperative drawn pupil and postoperative drawn pupil and postoperative drawn pupil was shown as 2.58mm in average. 4. Postoperative corrected visual acuity improved fairly. It was same as preoperative corrected visual acuity in 4 eyes(23.5%) and improved in 13 eyes(76.5%).
