Acute Angle-Closure Attacks Are Uncommon in Primary Angle-Closure Suspects after Pharmacologic Mydriasis: The Zhongshan Angle-Closure Prevention Trial. [PDF]
Angle-closure glaucoma is a major cause of blindness worldwide that carries an excessive risk of severe, bilateral visual impairment. A common concern among clinicians is the precipitation of acute angle-closure (AAC) attacks because of mydriasis. We evaluated the risk of AAC after pharmacologic dilation in Chinese individuals classified as having ...

The effectiveness of early lens extraction with intraocular lens implantation for the treatment of primary angle-closure glaucoma (EAGLE): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness. Although primary open-angle glaucoma is more common, primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) is more likely to result in irreversible blindness.

Rethinking Prophylactic Laser Peripheral Iridotomy in Primary Angle-Closure Suspects
To examine the generalizability, discuss limitations, and critically appraise recommendations on the management of primary angle-closure suspects (PACSs) that emerged as a result of recent randomized clinical trials challenging the widely accepted clinical practice of offering laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) to PACS patients.
