  • Title: Acute glaucomas: diagnosis and treatment.
    Author: Fingeret M, Kowal D.
    Journal: Optom Clin; 1991; 1(1):165-91. PubMed ID: 1799816.
    Abstract:
    Acute angle-closure glaucoma is an uncommon disorder that must be diagnosed and managed quickly and effectively to prevent visual loss. Several conditions may appear as an acute angle-closure glaucoma and must be recognized since, in certain cases, treatment may be different from that required for an acute angle-closure attack. Once an acute angle-closure attack has been successfully managed through medical treatment, a laser iridotomy is indicated to prevent an attack from recurring.
