AB  - Acute  angle-closure  glaucoma  (ACG)  is  secondary  to  narrowing  or  closure  of  the  anterior  chamber  angle,  resulting  in  increased  IOP,  with  subsequent  damage  to  the  optic  nerve.  Normally,  aqueous  humor  drains  out  of  the  anterior  chamber  via  Schlemm  canal  in  the  anterior  chamber  angle.  In  ACG,  this  flow  is  impeded,  and  the  IOP  rises  from  a  normal  range  of  10  to  21  mm  Hg  to  50  mm  Hg  or  higher.
