What is anatomically narrow angle glaucoma?
Chronic angle-closure glaucoma refers to an eye with high intraocular pressure. The anterior chamber is narrow and closed in places by synechiae (adhesions). It is sometimes the result of multiple slight intraocular inflammations over time or it may occur as a side effect of certain medications.
