LPI for anotomically narrow angles

hi

I wondered if anyone could clarify what determines a successful iridotomy for people who has anotomically narrow angles.

I’ve read conflicting information online, some sources say the widening of the angle means it’s successful. However some state for people who have anatomical narrow angles as in my case it’s about maintain the stability of the angle and having a back up drainage?

Very confused.

thanks a bunch paula
