“…Group B consisted of 31 eyes at risk of developing closed-angle glaucoma (because the fellow eyes had had a spontaneous episode of closed-angle glaucoma). These eyes were admitted into the study only if they satisfied the following criteria: (1) prophylactic peripheral iridectomy performed with an uneventful postoperative period at least 6 months prior to start of study; (2) contralateral eye had a spontaneous episode of closed-angle glaucoma; (3) open angles as assessed by a slit beam and also gonioscopically; (4) no peripheral anterior synechiae; (5) no pseudoexfoliation of the lens capsule; (6) no significant amount of pigment in angles; (7) normal discs; (8) normal visual fields-central and peripheral; (9) intraocular pressure by applanation, outflow facility, and Po/c ratio all within normal limits; (10) patient not on oral hypotensive agent, namely, acetazolamide.…”

SUMMARY Forty-eight eyes with closed-angle glaucoma and 31 eyes at risk were subjected to corticosteroid provocative tests. 65% and 9-7% respectively responded with a change in pressure .6 mmHg. The responses of the 2 groups were compared with each other and also.with the corticosteroid pressure response in normal eyes. The differences in behaviour between the eyes with closed-angle glaucoma and eyes at risk, and the eyes with closed-angle glaucoma and normal eyes, are statistically highly significant. The implications of.this are discussed. The prevalence of corticosteroid-induced ocular hypertension in closed-angle glaucoma is higher than previously reported.Corticosteroid-induced ocular hypertension is a well recognised entity which has been demonstrated and reported by several observers in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma, their siblings and children, and in glaucoma suspects and apparently normal individuals. '-11 There are few published data on the corticosteroid response of patients with closed-angle glaucoma. 214 This study investigates the prevalence of corticosteroid pressure response in 2 groups of eyes related to closed-angle glaucoma. Materia andTwo groups of eyes were subjected to corticosteroid provocative testing.
