Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma

Publication Date: November 12, 2015

Last Updated: March 14, 2022

Recommendations

Patients with PAC may have elevated IOP as a result of a chronic compromise of aqueous outflow due to appositional or synechial angle closure, or from damage to the trabecular meshwork after previous intermittent AACC. Iridotomy is indicated for eyes with PAC or PACG.

This may be performed using either a thermal or neodymium yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser.
