The authors have successfully utilised the technique of photocoagulation of iris in 35 cases for improving the visual acuity in cases suffering from ocular leprosy. The photocoagulation was considered to be very useful in cases with corneal scars, highly vascularised adherent leukomas, where keratoplasty stands a poor risk. It has also been recommended for cases with pinpoint pupil not dilating with drugs for diagnostic and prognostic value.
