Objective: Primary angle closure disease (PACD) has long been the focus of screening, yet most cases are nonprogressive. In contrast, primary angle closure with or without glaucoma (PAC/G) poses greater risk and may deserve more attention.

Bilateral multiple iridociliary cysts causing secondary pigment dispersion
Primary epithelial iris cysts are benign innocuous lesions, which are mostly bilateral and asymptomatic in nature. They can lead to creeping angle closure, when the angle progressively narrows due to age-associated changes.

Twenty-Four-Hour Intraocular Pressure in Chronic Primary Angle-Closure Disease. [PDF]
Précis: Primary angle closure and primary angle closure glaucoma may exhibit normal intraocular pressure. Twenty-four-hour intraocular pressure fluctuation is highest in primary angle closure glaucoma. The degree of peripheral anterior synechiae was associated with a 24-hour intraocular pressure pattern in primary angle-closure

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.
