PRIMARY ANGLE CLOSURE DISEASE (PACD) IS RESPONSIBLE FOR NEARLY HALF OF THE WORLD’S BLINDNESS DUE TO GLAUCOMA. THIS IC WILL ELABORATE ON THE NEW CURRENT PERSPECTIVE OF PACD GIVING EMPHASIS ON THE LATEST GUIDELINES, MECHANISMS OF ANGLE CLOSURE, DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF PACD AT THE CLINICAL LEVEL. EMPHASIS WILL BE GIVEN TO GONIOSCOPY AND DETECTION OF SUSPECTS. ANTERIOR SEGMENT IMAGING WILL BE DISCUSSED. THE ROLE OF IRIDOTOMY, IRIDOPLASTY ALONG WITH UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORTANCE OF MEDICAL TREATMENT RANGING FROM PILOCARPINE TO PROSTAGLANDIN ANALOGUES WILL BE A PART OF THE COURSE. SURGICAL OPTIONS, CLINICAL CASE BASED DISCUSSIONS WILL FURTHER EMPOWER THE ATTENDEES TO TREAT THIS DISEASE EFFECTIVELY THEREBY REDUCING THE VISUAL MORBIDITY FROM PACD.
