Abstract:
Acute angle-closure glaucoma is an ophthalmological emergency. Not all eyes will be responsive to an arbitrary medical regimen. Successful therapy is based upon understanding the mechanism of the angle-closure. A step-by-step flow chart for diagnosis of acute angle-closure glaucoma is presented with explanation of various signs and descriptions of appropriate diagnostic tests.
