The acute (sudden)form is much less common, but it does have symptoms and is very serious. An acute attack can cause intense eye pain, blurry vision, and nausea or vomiting. Untreated acute angle-closure glaucoma causes blindness within hours or days. It is a medical emergency that needs t...
Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma (PACG) –occurs when intraocular fluid cannot drain due to a variation in the angle of the eye’s anterior chamber. PACG can cause symptoms such as pain and redness in the eye; however, like POAG, symptoms often go unnoticed at first. Congenital Glaucoma –also...
Angle-closure glaucoma (also called narrow-angle) Narrow-angle / Angle-closure glaucoma Chronicprimary angle-closure glaucoma(PACG) is the second most common form of the disease, but it’s much less common than POAG. Only about 10% of US glaucoma cases are angle-closure. Even so, it accoun...
Angle-closure glaucoma is a type of glaucoma that occurs when the drainage angle in the eye becomes blocked, leading to a build-up of pressure in the eye. This pressure can cause blurred vision and, if left untreated, serious damage to the optic nerve. Symptoms of angle-closure glaucoma: ...

Without regular eye exams, POAG causes gradual vision loss and is often un-repairable if diagnosed too late. The second major type is known as acute or angle closure glaucoma. It is not as common as POAG and differs in that the pressure in the eye develops at a faster rate. This type...
Angle Closure Glaucoma Angle-closure glaucoma refers to a condition where the aqueous fluid is unable to reach the trabecular meshwork (the eye’s drain), which sits inside the angle of the eye. This results in elevated Intraocular Pressure (IOP). Angle-closure has many causes and may be acu...
Primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) is a common cause of blindness. Angle closure is a fundamental pathologic process in PAGC. With the development of imaging devices for the anterior segment of the eye, a better understanding of the pathogenesis of angle closure has been reached. Aside from...
affects the optic nerve and may cause vision loss. Glaucoma can be classified into two main types. These are open-angle, which is more common and develops more slowly, and angle-closure, which comes on suddenly and is painful. Without treatment, either type can cause vision problems and ...
Angle-closure glaucoma: This form of glaucoma occurs when the iris (i.e., the colored part of the eye) is too close to the drainage angle in the eye. This can cause the angle to become blocked and lead to increased eye pressure Normal-tension glaucoma, which entails damage to the optic...
