Purpose: To assess the prevalence and treatment outcomes of angle-closure mechanisms other than pupillary block in a population of Brazilian patients. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted to evaluate patients who had undergone laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) due to occludable angles at a single institution between July 2009 and April 2012. An occludable angle was defined as an eye in which the posterior trabecular meshwork was not visible for ≥180° on dark-room gonioscopy. Key exclusion criteria were any form of secondary glaucoma and the presence of >90° of peripheral anterior synechiae. Collected data were age, race, gender, angle-closure mechanism (based on indentation goniocopy and ultrasound biomicroscopy), intraocular pressure (IOP), number of antiglaucoma medications and subsequent management during follow-up. If both eyes were eligible, the right eye was arbitrarily selected for analysis. Results: A total of 196 eyes of 196 consecutive patients (mean age 58.3 ± 11.6 years) who underwent LPI were included. In most of the patients [86% (169 patients; 133 women and 36 men]), LPI sucessfully opened the angle. Mean IOP was reduced from 18.3 ± 6.4 mmHg to 15.4 ± 4.5 mmHg after LPI (p90º de sinéquia anterior periférica foram excluídos. Foram coletados os seguintes dados: idade, raça, sexo, mecanismo de fechamento angular (com base na gonioscopia e biomicroscopia ultrassônica), pressão intraocular (PIO), número de medicações antiglaucomatosas e manejo subsequente durante o seguimento. Sempre que ambos os olhos eram elegíveis, o olho direito foi escolhido arbitrariamente para análise. Resultados: Foram incluídos 196 olhos de 196 pacientes (58,3 ± 11,6 anos) que foram submetidos à LPI. Na maioria dos casos [86% (169 pacientes; 133 mulheres e 36 homens), a LPI foi capaz de abrir o ângulo. A PIO média foi reduzida de 18,3 ± 6,4 para 15,4 ± 4,5 mmHg após a LPI (p
