State of the art in acute glaucoma attack predisposition issue

Abstract

Angle-closure glaucoma diagnosis verification is based on biometric indicators and computer tomography data of the anterior segment of the eye. However, not every patient with a narrow angle and a shellow anterior chamber develops an acute attack. The review summarizes the literature data on risk factors for an acute glaucoma attack and lists additional parameters to be considered when examining patients with angle-closure glaucoma to identify a predisposition to an acute glaucoma attack.
