Sumario:PURPOSE: To introduce a new method for treating irido-corneal adhesion (ICA) by using argon laser. Case Presentation. A 60-year-old woman with advanced glaucoma who is undergoing trabeculectomy. In follow-up visits, choroidal effusion and iridocorneal adhesion were seen in the examination. The massive choroidal effusion was treated with medical therapy. In further follow-up examination, ICA was repaired with argon laser. RESULT: Early laser treatment prior to surgical management is suggested in postoperative synechia. CONCLUSION: Early argon laser synechiolysis is a less-invasive procedure which prevents probable surgical complications such as local detachment of Descemet's membrane or bleeding in surgical synechiolysis.
