Primary angle-closure glaucoma in young people

Main Article Content

Maria Niżankowska

Abstract

Diagnostics of primary angle closure and of primary angle-closure glaucoma in young people is based on the optical coherence tomography imaging of the anterior segment. Its surgical management, mainly with laser surgery, depends on the diagnosed type of primary angle closure and its mechanism. Adolescents with plateau iris configuration often present type II of primary angle closure. Type III combines that configuration with pupillary block as a result of chronic accommodation effort and/or physiological lens growth in the 40 to 50-year-old patients. The presented clinical cases introduce the principles of management aimed at reopening the natural route to the anatomical outflow.
