Increasing age, higher IOP tied to primary angle-closure disease in Asians
The incidence of primary angle-closure disease (PACD) in a multi-ethnic Asian population is 3.50 percent over 6 years, a study has shown. Increasing age, higher intraocular pressure (IOP), and shallower anterior chamber contribute to the increased risk of incident PACT, while late posterior subcapsular cataract (PSC) is associated with a lower likelihood of developing PACD.
