Sir,

We thank Dr Thyagarajan for his interest and comments on our paper.1 We recruited 10 consecutive patients into the study which means that no patient was excluded during the period of study. Argon laser peripheral iridoplasty (ALPI) is an easily mastered procedure and requires the availability of an argon laser machine, which we think is widely used in most of the eye institutions. The issue may be pertinent in developing countries but our hospital is equipped with the argon laser machine mainly for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy and therefore, no extra cost is required for its use in the treatment of acute phacomorphic angle-closure.
