Iridotomy to slow progression of visual field loss in angle-closure glaucoma [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Primary angle-closure glaucoma is a type of glaucoma associated with a physically obstructed anterior chamber angle. Obstruction of the anterior chamber angle blocks drainage of fluids (aqueous humor) within the eye and may raise intraocular ...
