Experimental: Bilateral iridotomy: Superior Each subject in this single-arm study undergoes bilateral laser peripheral iridotomy surgery. Each participant will undergo superior laser peripheral iridotomy in one eye and temporal laser peripheral iridotomy in the fellow eye. |
Procedure: Superior laser peripheral iridotomy
Iridotomy placement between 11:00 and 1:00 o'clock
|
Experimental: Bilateral iridotomy: Temporal Each subject in this single-arm study undergoes bilateral laser peripheral iridotomy surgery. Each participant will undergo superior laser peripheral iridotomy in one eye and temporal laser peripheral iridotomy in the fellow eye. |
Procedure: Temporal laser peripheral iridotomy
Iridotomy placement at 3:00 or 9:00 o'clock

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in visual acuity [30 days post-operative]
Change from baseline best corrected visual acuity evaluated in number of letters correctly read on the ETDRS chart
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in Peli-Robson contrast sensitivity [30 days post-operative]
Change from baseline in contrast sensitivity evaluated in number of letters correctly read on the Peli-Robson chart
- Change in CSV-1000 contrast sensitivity [30 days post-operative]
Change from baseline in contrast sensitivity evaluated using the number of correct responses on the CSV-1000 test
