Overview

Glaucoma Closed-Angle Glaucoma is a type of eye condition, caused by a blockage preventing the normal flow of fluid out of the eye. It can lead to a build-up of pressure within the eye, resulting in permanent vision loss or damage to the optic nerve. Early diagnosis is important in order to provide timely treatment and prevent further damage to the eye. Treatments include eye drops, laser surgery, and traditional surgery to help reduce eye pressure. With prompt and appropriate treatment, the outcomes of Closed-Angle Glaucoma can be positive and provide sustained control of eye pressure.
