Lasers parameters for Nd:YAG laser iridotomy
| Power | 1-6 mJ |
| Spot size | 50-70 μm (constant for each laser model) |
| Pulses per burst | 1-3 |
| Recommendations | Set defocus to zero Focus the beam within the iris stroma rather than on the surface of the iris* Avoid any apparent iris vessels Use the least amount of energy that is effective139 Lens capsule damage is possible above 2 mJ energy With most Lasers less than 5 mJ per pulse is required |
