Summary
Reena Manchanda Choudhry Cataract often coexists with primary angle closure in Indian eyes. The course will highlight role of imaging in primary angle closure disease eyes to establish the benefits of cataract surgery. Role of YAG Laser peripheral iridotomy will be discussed. Case based scenarios will be presented of all the stages of primary angle closure disease spectrum ( PACS, PAC, PACG and AAC) and when and how should cataract surgery be performed will be discussed. The challenges of cataract surgery in such eyes and how to do a safe surgery will be discussed . The aim of the course would be to help general ophthalmologists make the appropriate decision in such cases. 1.
