Long-Term Risk and Prediction of Progression in Primary Angle Closure Suspect. [PDF]
ImportanceIdentifying primary angle closure suspect (PACS) eyes at risk of angle closure is crucial for its management. However, the risk of progression and its prediction are still understudied in long-term longitudinal studies about PACS.ObjectiveTo explore baseline predictors and develop prediction models for the 14-year risk of progression from ...

Cataract progression after Nd:YAG laser iridotomy in primary angle-closure suspect eyes [PDF]
Background/AimsProphylactic laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) is performed in primary angle-closure suspect (PACS) eyes to prevent acute angle-closure attacks. However, accelerated cataractogenesis is a potential risk of the procedure that may result in decreased visual acuity.
