7.10 Conclusion

Primary angle-closure glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in the developing countries of Asia. This is a great humanitarian loss, as most blindness caused by angle closure is largely preventable with existing medical technology. The disease is more visually destructive than both POAG and secondary glaucoma. Large-scale, early detection and prevention of PACG offers probably the biggest, immediately achievable goal in prevention of blindness worldwide; however, this would require recognition of the problem and concerted will to act at governmental, health service, and NGO levels.
