Primary chronic angle-closure glaucoma

Chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma is a type of sudden or progressive closure of the angle of the house due to reasons that are not completely clear. Peripheral iris blocks the trabecular meshwork and prevents drainage of aqueous humor. A type of glaucoma with a sudden or progressive increase in intraocular pressure. In the 19th century, many ophthalmologists successively discovered that shallow anterior chamber and acute glaucoma are closely related. Curran first discovered that many of these cases could be successfully treated with peripheral iridectomy. Based on the above findings, many scholars in this period have successively based on clinical observations and the effects of peripheral iris resection to treat such glaucoma, suggesting that the occurrence of such glaucoma may be related to pupillary block.
